Sat 14/7 vs. Wilts: Alice put in a great performance vs. a higher rated player to win in straight sets and get us off to a good start! Sarah lost a tight match in three to Rebecca Heaps and Bella found it tough vs. Jessica Longjohn, losing hers too. We struggled to find our rhythm in the Doubles so overall lost 3-1. Our final group match was vs. Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Sophie and Sarah got us off to a fast start, both winning in straight sets, but Bella came up against a tough opponent losing in three in a match that could've gone her way! Sarah and Bella just needed the Doubles to win but just couldn’t convert their opportunities losing in 2 tight sets! This meant a match tiebreak shoot out - which the opponents took to seal victory.
Our final match was vs. Dorset. Alice and Sarah got us off to flyers winning in straight sets while Bella found it tough against a slow hitting opponent, but with encouragement she managed to change tactics and win in 3 thus getting us a win meaning we finished 7th in the country!
