Win for Hampden Park ladies
Hampden Park TC Ladies 1st team travelled to Comptons near Horsham on Sunday 26th April in the Tennis Sussex Summer Doubles League 2026. On a gloriously sunny day both teams battled through the 1st round. Helen Mitchell & Nicola Tuson beat their 2nd pair 6-2 6-2, the score doesnt show how close it was! Jenny Hughes & Cristina Iacob, who had been drafted in from the 2nd team for her first ever appearance for the 1st team, battled often being down in the scoreline & eventually won 1-6 7-6 10-6 winning both tiebreaks!
So Hampden Park started the 2nd round with a 2-0 lead & Helen & Nicola secured a 3-1 win by beating their 1st pair 6-0 6-2.
Jenny & Cristina lost their 2nd match 4-6 2-6 but luckily had done their bit to support Helen & Nicola by winning the first match. Cristina had a busy weekend winning 2 matches the day before for the Hampden Park 2nd team!
