IC Under 35s vs Over 35s

Result: Under 35s 7 - 1 Over 35s
Venue: LTA National Tennis Centre

The IC Under 35s team triumphed 7-1 against the experience of the Over 35s in the traditional season opening match at the National Tennis Centre today.

The match provided a great opportunity for some of the Club's younger members to get some early match play and there proved to be lots of competitive matches, played in true IC spirit.  It was especially great to see four members making their debuts.

The Under 35s led 3-1 after the first round of men's and ladies doubles, before going on to take a clean sweep of the mixed doubles matches that followed.

Our thanks to Barry Cowan and Philippa Coates for organising the fixture and the LTA for kindly allowing use of the National Tennis Centre.
