Division Two
Terry is Simmering for Sara's
Tewkesbury A returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 6-4 victory over Cheltenham E. Rob Amphlett claimed a maximum for Tewkesbury, winning all his games in four sets. Christine Williams was the pick of Cheltenham’s players, comfortably beating John Goodchild and Mike Tyrrell in straight sets. Goodchild enjoyed a five-set win over the improving Siben Li, whilst Tyrrell emerged victorious in a tight five-setter with Andy Dyke. Amphlett and Tyrrell kept up their recent form in the doubles with a straight sets win over Dyke and Williams.

Smiths D overcame Cheltenham F 6-4 thanks to an excellent maximum from Julie Taylor. She was well supported by Mike Gleeson who won twice. Matt Mulcahy put in the best performance for Cheltenham, winning twice and just losing out in five sets to Taylor. Mulcahy combined with Alan Harvey to win a crucial doubles which reduced the deficit.

Cheltenham D and Saracens B fought out an entertaining 5-5 draw. John Gaskell continued his rich vein of form for Cheltenham, claiming a maximum, although he had to come from 2-0 down to beat Terry Sims. Mike Dodwell and Sims both performed excellently for Saracens, winning twice each. Sims did not drop a set in defeating Mike Fry and Dave Green and similarly, Dodwell was untroubled. Fry’s miserable night was completed as Ross Greening picked up an excellent win over him. The Gaskell/Green doubles combination was far too strong for Sims and Greening and their straight sets win salvaged a draw for Cheltenham.

Saracens C cruised to an 8-2 win over Tirley Tigers, although they met some defiance along the way. Martin Cosnette and Tony Walsh were rarely troubled as they claimed three wins apiece. Dave Cosnette, however, could only win once, and was defeated in five sets by both Janie Kirby and Elaine Evans. Kirby and Lesley Dewick could not secure a further point in a rather one-sided doubles encounter.

Winchcombe Wizards swept to an 8-2 win over Saracens D. Maximums for Nick Davidson and Chris Lane secured the win. Tony Iles and Mark Nally won once each for Saracens, both beating Jacqui Carver in straight sets. In a straightforward doubles win, Davidson and Lane beat Iles and Nally 11-7, 11-7, 11-7.

CCS A completed a convincing 9-1 win over a weakened Winchcombe Warriors thanks to maximums from Steve Murton and Phil King. Dave McIntosh offered the only resistance for the Warriors, condemning the in-form David Hart to a straight sets defeat. John Teare and the promoted Tiffany Hopton were outplayed in all of their matches. Murton and King completed the rout with a straight sets victory over McIntosh and Teare in the doubles.
