Three ladies from the L-Plates, Emma, Annabel and Ladies Blues captain Amanda took on three men from the Earthworks team, Tom, Simon and Howard on Wednesday night as part of the on-going Doubles League. This match was for the third division of the five being played on the various evenings of the week.

Earthworks took the first rubber from Emma and Annabelle 7 games to 3. However they struggled to maintain their form in the second and third as Annabel’s eye came into focus and Amanda stepped in. A valiant effort in both of the two later matches at 5-1 down meant that honour was restored momentarily, but ultimately the L-Plates ladies prevailed, winning 7-2 and 7-4 respectively.

Earthworks and L-Plates lead the group ladder with Jabs in between who may yet take the lead as they have played a match less than the other two
