Ladies Teams
This week again saw mixed fortunes for Clarkston ladies tennis teams. The first team had a good win against VA Lanarkshire on Tuesday but lost to them in the Scottish Cup on Wednesday.
They must now beat Thorn Park Ladies to qualify as West 5 for the 2nd stage of the Cup. Hopefully the weather will be better next Wednesday!
Also on Tuesday, the ladies second team lost to Thorn Park Ladies first team in the league but the third team scored its third victory in a row with a 5-4 victory over a strong Thorn Park Ladies third team. So once again good luck to all for next week!

Elena Baltacha
Former British number one Elena Baltacha died of liver cancer at the age of 30, her family have announced.
Baltacha was diagnosed with the illness in January, just two months after retiring from tennis and only weeks after she married her long-time coach Nino Severino.
"We are heartbroken beyond words at the loss of our beautiful, talented and determined Bally," Severino said in a statement released by her family.
"She was an amazing person and she touched so many people with her inspirational spirit, her warmth and her kindness."
The statement said Baltacha died peacefully at home early on Sunday morning.
Baltacha had retired from professional tennis last November after a career which had seen her ranked as the British No. 1 for 132 weeks, from December 2009 to June 2012.
Her highest singles rank was 49, which she reached in September 2010.
The Lawn Tennis Association's head of women's tennis Iain Bates said in a statement: "Today we have lost a shining light from the heart of British tennis - a true role model, a great competitor and a wonderful friend.
