The hot morning in London ended with Sussex County 3-0 up. Phil Harrison and Jo Crosby won a tight doubles match in 3 games (7-6,6-7,7-3), Mark Barnham also a tight singles in 3 (5-7,7-5, 7-4), with Kathy McColgan cruising her morning singles match.

The afternoon brought two straightforward wins for Mark and Kathy, a defeat for Jo (who gets the wooden spoon!), and a brilliant win for Phil who played magnificently for a 6-7, 7-6, 7-5 win.

So the overall result was 6-1 to SCCC. A great team effort. Now we wait on other results to see if we’ve won the R league.
