Sun comes out for Hailsham Tennis Club team
After the match was postponed for bad weather in December, the sun came out for the Hailsham Ladies' first team when they visited Hampden Park for the rearranged fixture, their first match of the new year in the Tennis Sussex Winter Doubles League.
First pair Georgia Lee and Narun Chea took on the Hampden Park second pair, Janet Collings and Alison Murray, winning a close fought rubber 6-3, 6-4.
Hailsham's second pair, Stacey Clay and Hayley Allender took on the HP first pair, Sue Lear and Lynsey Swingler, losing a close first set 5-7 and then the rubber 1-6 in the second set.
In the reverse legs, Stacey and Hayley did better against Janet and Alison, winning in straight sets 6-3, 6-3.
Georgia and Narun won their first set against Sue and Lynsey 6-4 before the home pair turned the tables in the second set to win 6-4 themselves.
That took the tie to a championship tiebreak (first to 10 points), which the Hailsham pair won 10-6, giving the team a 3-1 match win.
