Welcome to the Mixed B  Home Page

Dedham B v Wivenhoe – The first match of the season started with a defeat  however according to Ros – the acting captain- the match was , for the 1st and 2nd couples, very good, with good close games and lots of fun and excitement.  The 3rd couple didn’t get going quickly but they were doing well in the last round when rain joined the darkness and forced to stop play. Despite the result the team felt  it was good fun.

Dedham B v Kirby B - Kirby defaulted. According to the League’s  Rules ” … a team that wins a match by default shall receive a score equal to the best score achieved by another team against that defaulting team, with the proviso that the score must be at least the minimum for winning the match (ie 8 points for a 5-4 win)“, therefore we were awarded the minimum 8  points .

Dedham B v Colchester Lawn A – We had a lovely evening for tennis on Friday 25th June for our Mixed B match against a very strong Colchester Lawn A team.  The scores were all very close. Christine and Martin, who had never played together before, had scores of 6-8, 6-8, 9-7; our other pairs had similar results.  Unfortunately Matt hurt his shoulder in the second round.  He managed to finish that round but was unable to continue.  So despite the closeness of the matches we lost 3-6. Thanks Christine who took over the captaincy for the day and wrote the  match report.

DedhamB v D’Court -  Although it was difficult to get a third man John stepped at the last minute to complete the team and in a very hot summer evening we managed our first win of the season. This was Roderick first match and he and Ros made a very good pair winning two of  their sets. So did Hilary and Robert. Unfortunately John and Sara only managed the one that but was enough to finish 5-4.

DedhamB v D’Court - In a not too hot evening  the team was again stroked by bad luck .    This time it was Russell’s turn and, despite being up in the third set , he  had to retire after  pulling his hamstring . Matt and Sara playing together for the first time enjoyed the experience but only got one set, Hilary and Robert in turn won two sets . This was an enjoyable evening  but unfortunately we lost 4-5.
