Ladies 2 Final
The TTC Ladies second team played in the final of Division 7 on Sunday 5th September 2010 after winning all their matches in section 7B and gaining promotion. Their opponents were David Lloyd Beckenham 2 and the fixture was played on their Astroturf courts. The TTC team comprised of Fran Bennett, Annette Eccott (capt), Susanne Kirby and Diana Scott, who was playing for Sue Gilroy.
The match was extremely hard fought against tough, hard hitting opponents, and proved to be a very exciting contest with the outcome undecided until the final ball was played. After the first two rubbers the scores were level, 1 rubber, 2 sets and 18 games each, Fran and Annette having beaten the first pair and then after another very tough match, beat the second pair. Susanne and Diana were still battling hard after losing the first set, and took the second set to a tie-break, finally losing 9-7, which was a very commendable performance against the Beckenham first pair. The final result was that the match was lost by 1 game: 2 rubbers each, 4 sets each, 38 to 39 games. Although this was a disappointing outcome, everyone should be congratulated on their very determined performance against our toughest opponents this season.
