15 April 2016 - PCC win well in GC National Inter-Club Championship
PCC cruised to a comfortable victory today against Camerton & Peasedown by 5.5 to 1.5 games in the poring rain.
Courts 1 and 2 were fully waterlogged by lunchtime and the match had to be concluded on the smaller courts 3 and 4.
PCC held a good lead by lunchtime, thanks to straight games wins in the doubles by Chris Roberts and Helena Fensome, and Ian Norris turning the same trick, but in two very tight singles games.
Mike Fensome's singles rubber was halted at one game all, with the intention to only play the decider if the match result rested on it (and in the end it didn't).
In the afternoon, Roberts, Norris and Mike Fensome all won in straight games, but Camerton & Peasedown's Mo Boyes salvaged something for their side by defeating Helena Fensome in the deciding game of three.
A very satisfactory start to our Club's competitive season all told, and with our next opponents known to be Cheltenham, the next job will be to fit them in to our busy domestic programme.
Chris Roberts & Helen Fensome beat Colin Britt & Mo Boyes 7-4, 7-5
Mike Fensome drew v Brian Wilson 7-3, 6-7
Ian Norris beat Ros Key-Pugh 7-6, 7-6
