Tennis Club Championships - Second week

Tennis Club Championships update - Second week

The Shrewsbury Club championships are well underway as we went into our second week of matches, with some of the top seeds entering the draw.

The mens singles draw continued with both top seeds Luke Henley and Jon Gidney comfortably progressing into the next round, although Damon Airey certainly put in a very good effort winning games in both sets.

There were some exeptionally close matches in the mixed doubles with Cath and Phil Barton narrowly losing out in a third set to the strong pairing of John Buckley and Sarah Breese. They will go on to face Jon Gidney and Elena Griffiths in the next round which could be another close match.

Unfortunately, Simon Haddleton's time in the tournament was short lived as he and Sarah Gidney lost a close match to Jackie and Chris Passey 6-3, 6-3. Well done to the Passey's, and their prize for victory is a match against full time players Luke Henley and Lauren McMinn in the next round.  

The event continues next week witn a full shcedule of matches from ladies singles, mens doubles, and ladies doubles. Our pick of the matches next week is a mens doubles match where Branislav Prievoznik and Rik Richards are up against Robin Morris and Jon Gidney. Matches will commence at 6:30pm on Wednesday.
