The Dunlop Lindum Lincolnshire Seniors Summer League has drawn to a close - with Boston Tennis Club’s men finishing top of Division One.

Despite a loss to Louth in the final match of the season for the team of Ray Frankish, James Newton, Anthony Hulley and Geoff Short, the team had done enough earlier preparation in matches to secure the overall win.

In the penultimate match of the season against Boston men’s Seconds, the team of Ray Frankish, Jeremy George-Jones, James Newton and Owen Jary had a strong win against clubmates Andy Clamp, Geoff Short, Chris Cook and David Makins.

Boston men’s Seconds finished in a respectable position and played a part in the Boston men’s success as it was the team’s win against Louth at the beginning of the season that balanced out the First team’s loss to Louth.

The team was Richard Cozens, David Makins, Rob Bonser and Zafar Khan.
