Congratulations to our Ladies O35s team who gained promotion to Division 4 at County Cup.
The team, captained by Karen Adams, consisted of Anna Sharp, Anna White, Jane Bingham, Lizzie Toop and Emma Bennett.
A challenging weekend due to rain! Saturday was a total washout and with only one match being completed on the Sunday, this meant two matches had to be played on the Monday. Unfortunately, Emma Bennett had to return home for work which disappointingly for her, meant she did not get a chance to play.
Matches finally kicked off with a reduced format of first to 4 and only the first round of matches to be contested. Dorset had a great start against North Wales with Anna White and Anna Sharp both winning 4-0 4-0. Jane and Lizzie then completed the match with a 4-3 4-2 doubles win giving Dorset a 3-0 victory.
The team then went straight on for their match against Wiltshire with Anna White winning 4-2 4-2 and Anna Sharp winning 4-1 4-0 giving Dorset a 2-0 win topping the group and gaining promotion to Division 4.
Whilst the weather was unkind and the format reducing the amount of tennis the team were able to play, the weekend was very enjoyable and the team spirit very high.
