Both teams hit the court on Saturday with our Mixed team up first against Lancashire.  A brilliant effort from the team who came out strong with a 2-0 win.  A hard fought match followed against Middlesex, who edged the win.

Our Men’s team enjoyed an awesome first day with back-to-back wins vs Hampshire and Scotland South.  Sunday morning, the team kicked things off with a thriller against Lincolnshire.  With the match at 2-2, it all came down to a nail-biting tie-break……………….. and Dorset smashed it!  A battle for a place in the Main Draw followed vs Middlesex.  Intense rallies, huge energy and yet another tie-break!  Middlesex just edged it 11-9 but a brilliant 2nd place for Dorset in the Group.

Massive shoutout to BOTH our Men’s and Mixed teams – outstanding effort, teamwork, and spirit from everyone.
