The friendly competition for intermediate players took place at Mansfield’s Titchfield Park and started in dry conditions that eventually turned typically English summery, wet.
All who turned up to play or watch were involved and played in two triples and three doubles games twice. John and Keith selected their teams and a rather close battle commenced. After nine of the ten games were completed Mansfield led 5 – 4 with one to finish playing. This was a tense affair as the scores crept up and the game could go either way but eventually Mansfield got the required thirteen points to give Mansfield the victory six games to four.
Well played Fernwood team who are proving to be worthy opposition and are improving all the time. Thanks to Valerie and Janet for the lovely lunch after the event.
The day was indeed played in a pleasant, informal manner and we look forward to more such competitions in the future.
