CHRISTMAS came early for Bromsgrove Tennis Club as all four teams in Herefordshire and Worcestershire Winter League action recorded victories.

Top of the tree was the Ladies A who claimed a maximum points 4-0 victory over Cutnall Green A to go top of Division Two.

Both pairs of Sally Franks with Tina Manning and Jen Law with Rachael Mack won each of their rubbers impressively in two sets.

Captain Franks said: “Cutnall fought hard but we had the edge in all the rubbers. It was great having Jen Law back in the team after working abroad for a couple of years and her return has really strengthened the squad.”




Not to be outdone was the Ladies C team who started their Division Two campaign with a 4-0 victory over rivals David Lloyd Bromsgrove B.
