THE fifth round of tennis in the Plymouth and District League did not bring the expected results that the Tavistock Tennis Club would have liked this week.
Nevertheless team members put up a valiant fight against some much stronger teams and a number of club members, new to competitive tennis, are gaining valuable experience in League matches.
RESULTS: Division one — Men's A (Lynden Hardisty and Josh Brown, Simon Prout and Phil Ruse) v Ivybridge A (home), won as a result of a walk over, 8-0, points 39.
