The victorious trend continues, as the club’s Mixed Doubles, Super Seniors and Women’s Teams all record important victories.
Most recently the Ely Women’s Super Seniors team opened their account with a thrilling and comprehensive 5-1 victory against Milton in the Cambs Super Senior’s League, and the Men’s Super Seniors managed a draw in a very close match against Great Shelford Men’s.
In their last match of the season, Ely Women’s 2nd Team finished with a flourish, beating Papworth 6-2. Pair 1 won all four of their sets, taking the first set 6-2 and then had to battle in a Tie break for the second set. Against the second couple they were comfortable victors with a score line of 6-1 and 6-2. Pair 2 drew both of their matches 6-4,0-6 against the first pair and 3-6,7-5 against pair two. Papworth were a strong opposition and Ely had to work very hard, and stay patient in some challenging long rallies.
In the Mixed Doubles, Ely 2nd Team and 3rd Team managed victories on the same evening. The 2nd Team were able to hold off a valiant effort from Longstanton 1st Team to win 5-3, whilst the 3rd Team beat Cambourne 3rd Team, also with a score of 5-3. After the match the teams sat together in the evening sun and enjoyed a delicious tea, courtesy of Peacocks.
More recently, the Ely Mixed 1st Team beat Cambridge Mixed 4th team 5-3 in Division 5, and Ely Mixed 2nd Team defeated Huntingdon Mixed 2nd Team to see them go top of Division 8.
