The Green's teams secure one win and one draw
Recently two of The Green's tennis teams have been in action, securing one win and one hard-fought draw.
The mixed first team entertained the Hawkhurst team in a Division 1 fixture of the Wealden Tennis League. The first pairing of Chris Grief with Amanda Ruck won their rubbers by 6-0, 6-1 and 7-5, 6-3, whilst Richard Bailey with Beaula Page lost their first rubber by 2-6, 1-6. However, they received a walkover due to injury against the other Hawkhurst pairing and so the result was a 3-1 victory, thus maintaining the team’s position in first place. Since then the Goudhurst team have conceded their match to the team so confirming that The Green have won Division 1 in the 2025-2026 season.
The ladies second team hosted the David Lloyd second team from Eastbourne in a Division 8 fixture of the Sussex Winter Tennis League. In the initial round of rubbers the first pair of Dana Brass/Karen Walker won 3-6, 6-4 and 10-4 in the championship tie-break whilst the second pair of Grace Amaral/Sheila King won 6-1, 4-6, 10-4. Then Grace/Sheila lost 7-5, 6-7, 7-10, and so the match result depended upon the outcome of Dana/Karen’s second rubber. Again this went to a championship tie-break but on this occasion they just lost out with a score of 2-6, 6-4, 9-11. Therefore the 2-2 draw was a very true reflection on the closeness of all the rubbers.
