Yorkshire

Saturday 25 August 2018

Result: IC of GB 2 - 3 Yorkshire
Venue: Ilkley LTC

The annual match against Yorkshire was played on the new grass courts at Ilkley LTC in brilliant sunshine.  It was a great opportunity to catch-up with old friends and every rubber was played in good spirit, despite a 3-2 loss.

The highlight of the day was Ian Blakeman and Ashley Broomhead coming back from three match points down to beat Richard and Andrew Hutchinson.

Our thanks to Yorkshire and Ilkley LTC in particular for hosting such an enjoyable fixture.
