Firs won this very closely contested match 4 - 3.
 
The weather was very, very wet in the morning, with some prolonged hailstone showers.
 
Firs won the doubles, but the remaining morning singles were split, giving Firs a 2 - 1 lunchtime lead.
 
The afternoon saw keenly fought matches, with the result of 3 very close right to the end.
 
Special mention should be made of Louise, she was a very last minute stand-in. So although Louise lost both her matches, they were very close.
Also Andrew did very well, winning comfortably both his matches. I'm sure I can see the handicaps of both these coming down soon.
