Bromsgrove Editorial 7th Feb, 2020   0

BROMSGROVE B’s hopes of a top-two finish remain alive after a 6-4 triumph over Madley in Division Two of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Women’s Winter League.

Kelly Kenward and Hannah Weston were unable to get Bromsgrove off to a positive start after going down in three sets to the visitors’ opening duo 6-2, 6-7, 7-6.

The hosts recovered however, with Ann Banner and Isabelle Bracknall winning the second rubber 6-1, 6-3, followed by Kenward and Weston’s impressive 6-1, 6-0 success in the penultimate match.

Despite suffering defeat in the final rubber, when Banner and Bracknall lost out 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, the successive straight-sets victories were enough to give third-placed Bromsgrove the bulk of the points.
