SURREY LEAGUES
LADIES 1sts (captain Morvern Scott)
Winter league 2011/2012:
The Ladies 1st team were promoted to ‘K east’ for the 2011/2012 winter season. The team consisted of Natalie Lyons, Kirsty Ogilvie, Melanie Gibbs and Morvern Scott, with guest appearances from Louise Wilson for our match against Chipstead I and Giorgina Zinunula for our match against Redhill I.
With all matches played we secured our spot at the top of the league table after a hard battle in our last match against Redhill. We remain undefeated however dropped our first sets ever in the Surrey leagues which was disappointing but had to happen at some point! For winning our league we will move up another 2 leagues next winter.
The results were:
30th October 2011 vs Cheam Sports I: 4/0 rubbers; 8/0 sets;
27th November 2011 vs Shirley Park III: 4/0 rubbers; 8/0 sets;
8th January 2012 vs Chipstead I: 4/0 rubbers; 8/0 sets;
25th March 2012 vs Dulwich IV: 4/0 rubbers; 8/0 sets;
31st March 2012 vs Redhill I: 2/2 rubbers; 5/4 sets.

SUMMER MENS:
AEGON NATIONAL LEAGUE (Captain Mike Adcock)
We have graduated to this separate competition this summer, which involves singles as well as doubles;
The first match resulted in an easy victory without the loss of a set.
MENS 1sts (captain Max Jones)
May 6 Carshalton i (H): if anything demonstrates our strength in depth this is it: Max had a nightmare raising a squad for this one and had to resort to fielding Murray Sutton (normally 3rds) and Ben Kelly (newly-promoted to 2nds); however, the utility men steeled themselves and focused to edge their 2nd pair 7/5 6/4 -Murray even held back on his fancy dropshots) while Max and Simon did the business 6/0 6/1 and 7/5 (oops) 6/2 to earn us the two points; Murray and Ben were still basking in glory as they crumbled 4/6 1/6 v their 1st pair; so our record of being unbeaten since June 3 2007 stands!
MENS 2nds: (captain Matt Lavers)
MENS 3rds: (captain Murray Sutton)
MENS 4ths: (Captain Paul Denning)
May 12: Chipstead iii (A): a stuttering start to our campaign in leafy Chipstead: Graham and Murray lost 2/6 4/6 and 2/6 0/6 and Chris Stonehouse and Tony lost 3/6 36/ to their 2nds but salvaged some pride with a 6/4 3/6 1/0(7) win hampered by equipment malfunctions (ask Chris!); no need for overdue concern as we have four matches to bounce back.
