Mixed fortunes for Grantham Tennis Club teams

Facing strong opposition, the team comprising Richard Cragg and James Drennan, Daniel Mole and Andrew Isaac, and Nigel Birch and Ilya Paulavets lost 9-0.
The mixed doubles fourth team travelled to Mansfield. Despite the novelty of splendid grass courts, the team could not perform and ultimately lost 14 sets to four. The team were Colin Walton and Sheena Gordine, David Todd and Lorraine Walton, and Paul Kennedy and Carole Binz.
