A great win for Devon against a strong and determined Somerset team. This really could have   gone either way. We only had 3 hours of court time so it was a bit manic at times, but we managed to squeeze all the games and in and have a fun game against Somerset at the end, so a big thank you to Kelly and all the Somerset team for being great hosts, some of our players even stayed on after the match to have a swim

 

The singles finished 6-6 with Somerset’s 1 and 2 being strong players but there were wins for Courtenay, Jake, Harri and Bobby Saunders who was making his first appearance for the U11’s.

The girls unbelievably finished all square 6-6. Sarah and Emily could not make the match so with some frantic phone calling, Sophia Summers and Hannah Laidler played and because Somerset had similar headaches we agreed it was okay to ask a U13 player to play, so with roles reversed Hannah Laidler stood into play at 1 against Somerset’s U13 player, There were wins for Hannah, Sophie, Caity, Lauren and Sophia who was also making her first appearance for the U11’s.

 

The doubles were just as tight with some good partnerships forming, Charlie and Callum having a real challenge, Bobby and Harri winning in 3 games, Courtenay and Jake losing their first game but then came back to win 2-1.

The girls doubles is where we started to get our noses in front with wins for Hannah and Carmel, Lauren and Caity, and Sophie and Sophia.

So it was down to the mixed, with nails starting to really wear. Somerset started to come back, but finally wins for Courtaney and Lauren and Jake and Sophia sealed a memorable victory.

Well done to you all!!!!

A big thanks to Sam Robinson and again to all the parents for there patience
