In-form Barney top Cleveland League mixed doubles division 3

ON FORM: The Barney mixed doubles team who won 6-2 in their game against Wellfield

Barnard castle Tennis Club

THE club’s players have been busy in the past week with the men and mixed teams in action in the Darlington and District league and a mixed away tie in the Cleveland league.

The men’s team hosted Sedgefield and Chilton on a sunny evening.

Stephen Hughes and Scott Patrick were first to take on a confident Sedgefield and Chilton duo as the opening set eventually reached a tie-break which could have gone either way.

However, it went in favour to the opposition and this carried them through the next set 6-0.

Meanwhile Steve Brookes and Steve Saddington took their match 6-3, 6-4 against the opponents’ second pair.

The two Steves struggled in their first set against the opposing first pair losing 6-1, but having got the measure of the opposition the next set was a different story as they found their form to take it 6-4 to share the match.

Stephen and Scott sailed through their second match 6-0, 6-0 giving Barnard Castle the evening’s win 5-3.

The mixed team of Sue Hudson, Fleur Sanderson, Steve Brookes and Steve Sumner welcomed a Wellfield team from High Coniscliffe.

Sue and Steve Sumner were Barney’s first pair and earned a double break of serve to go 3-0 up in the first set.

Wellfield took one break back but Barney served out to win the set 6-4.

During the second set there was a short delay due to rain at 4-4 – and on the resumption Barney went on to take the second set 6-4. Sue and Steve kept the momentum going through their next match against the opposition’s second pair, taking both sets 6-0, 6-0.

Barney’s second pair of Steve Brookes and Fleur had a similar score line in their first match 6-4, 6-3 but against the opposition’s first couple fought valiantly but went down 4-6, 4-6.

This gave Barney a comfortable 6-2 victory.

The mixed team travelled to Hartlepool to take on their nearest competitors at the midpoint of the Cleveland league season.

Barnard Castle got off to a great start as the three pairs won the first round of matches.

Lucas Patrick and Karen Tomlinson were the first pair; second pair were Sam Everett along side Lucy Brenkley while Jonathan Kirk and debutant Fleur Sanderson were the third pair gaining the wins.

A further win a piece for Lucy and Sam and Karen and Lucas gave Barnard Castle a 5-4 victory and a realistic chance of promotion going into the second half of the season.

At the time of writing Barnard Castle mixed lead the third division in the Cleveland League.
