Our last match in the 3+ League was at home against top of the table Meldreth.
Colchester started strongly with wins in the doubles for Hugh & Marian and Michael & Marilyn. Rain showers sent everyone scurrying for their rain coats just before lunch, but play carried on regardless and we had established a narrow 6-4 lead after the third round. The closely matched teams continued the battle in the afternoon with the match ending with an 11-7 win for the home team.
This result means that Meldreth win the North and East area League with 10 points from Colchester on 9.
Congratulations to the team on an excellent win and many thanks to Marian for her hard work in organising the matches and baking delicious cakes for the post match tea – Carrot cake & Victoria sponge this time.
Thanks also to Martin Tunmore and his team of volunteer grass cutters who looked after the lawns during the gardeners’ two week holiday.
