The Northumberland County Ladies Tennis Team powered their way to a convincing victory in the AEGON Summer County Cup at the HSBC Tennis Centre in Beckenham last week.
The team made up of Alex Walker, Amy Hoburn, Grace Dixon, Deborah Armstrong, Ceara Howey Jayne Oswald and Abigail Lemberger, and they made impressive wins by beating Wiltshire 7-2 on Day 1 and only just losing the 2 rubbers given away. On Day 2 they only gave one rubber away to beat Bedfordshire 8-1 and on Day 3 having a great match against Northamptonshire and winning 6-3 so gaining promotion to group 5 in next year’s competition.
It was a great three days of tennis by the team and great to see that female tennis is represented well in our county.
