West of Scotland Summer Doubles Match Report

Clarkston’s 2^nd Ladies team carved out a fine 7-2 win at home last Tuesday against a seasoned ladies 2^nd team from Strathgryffe. In action were Judy and Fiona MacKay (2 sets), Lesley and Jackie (3 sets) and Mary and Linda (2 sets). Meanwhile, across the city, Clarkston’s 1st Ladies team had a marvellous 9-0 win against Broomhill. Clarkston 3^rd Ladies were also in action last week on Monday losing away 2- 7 to a strong Thornpark 3^rd Ladies team. But the 3rds bounced back with a gritty 9-0 home win on the Thursday against a strong ladies 2^nd team from Fort Mathilda. Well done to all team members!

Lovely Ladies Trample Thornpark

Clarkston 2^nd won an exciting away encounter 7-2 against a strong, experienced Thornpark 2^nd team. Jackie back from holiday teamed up with Fiona MacKay at first couple to win 3; Judy and Susan played at second couple to win 3; and Mary and Lesley playing at 3^rd managed to snatch the first set then lost a tight 3^rd set.

An exellent win overall following on from excellent wins on Monday by the 3rds at Kirktonhill and on Tuesday by the 1sts against Western at home. Still to come in future weeks after she recovers from injury is Sandra who is giving us all great encouragement from the sidelines

First Team, First Defeat!

Given the weather during the build-up to the competitive season, it was pleasant to find a beautiful, sunny evening awaiting the Gents 1st team at Bearsden.  The weather, however, was to be the only beautiful thing about the evening.  Given the departures of some regulars, and the call-up of some “aging” replacements, the first team face the season realistic about the job in front of them.  

Three fantastic sets were secured at second couple, where David Evans was ably partnered by a resurgent Eric “Dateinthe” Marginson.  Unfortunately they received little support from the other two couples, leaving a final result of a 5-4 loss. Had this been in the Vets’ League the humane thing would probably have been to put us to sleep!  Dogged determination is needed as we face the next challenge!  Onwards and upwards!
