THERE were notable matches for the Tavistock Tennis Club in the league last week where coincidentally both the men?s and ladies? A and B teams played each other. The ladies in particular had a close contest where there was nothing to choose between them with some hard fought individual matches and many championship tie breaks. The men?s C, D and E teams all had good wins. It was unfortunate that a junior match had to be conceded. Results week 6. Seniors: Men A team won 6-2 at home against the B team (both in Divn 1).
