Barrie Farnsworth and Steve Thompson led the team with three sets, but despite two very close matches, Doug Hacking and David Gildove were unable to gain the vital rubber for a draw and the team eventually lost 5-3.

The club are again fielding a full range of teams – men’s, ladies’, mixed, seniors and super-seniors – in the Leicestershire Leagues which mostly start in early May except the super-seniors.

Now that the weather has improved, match practice and team selections are well under way as players look forward to another enjoyable season.
