Five-star showing from tennis club

The first match of the season was postponed due to rain, but while Sunday’s weather conditions were cold, they were dry enough for the fixture to be played.

The team of Will Mason, Marcus Witt, Matthew Gedney and Edward Fowler played some very good tennis in some closely-contested singles rubbers, but the Boston team won all of the first-round encounters before sharing the doubles.

The Ladies’ Firsts, also competing in the regional division, have yet to find a lucky streak.

Away at Burton Waters the previous weekend, the team of Victoria Beardsley, Lucy Hull, Siobahnn O’Neill and Emma Mastin were level 2-2 after the singles, but lost both doubles in a third-set tie-break.
