Girls:
The Girls team was in Play-off Group 1A at East Dorset Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. 
The Team was:
Liliana Mawo, Elizabeth Nwawudu, Astrid Tilley, Esther Wycherley
Team Captains: Lottie Howard and Simon James
The girls were in Group B with Avon and Sussex with the first match v Avon. After the singles we were 2-2 so everything to play for. We won doubles 1 but just lost doubles 2 8-10 in the third set tie-break. So match shoot-out time and unfortunately it didn’t go our way so a 3-4 loss. The next match was v Sussex and again it was 2-2 after the singles, but this time the girls were able to win both doubles so a 4-2 win. It meant there was a 3-way tie in Group B and with a 7-6 rubber score, we came top!
So playing for a place in the finals on the second day v Hertfordshire (who won Group A), the girls rose to the challenge and produced another impressive team performance. After the singles we were 3-1 up and after winning doubles 1, the girls had secured their place in the National Finals.
Well done to all and good luck at the Finals being held from Friday 3rd – Sunday 5th July at Nottingham Tennis Centre. A full report will follow.
