Townsend Mixed A had another good season in Division 3 of the Watford and District Tennis League. As with last year, the standard in the division was high, with some tough matches played. Riverside C pulled out of the league at the beginning of the season, so two fixtures that Townsend have historically taken points from were cancelled. However, of the ten matches that remained, Townsend won five, leaving the team placed third in the division, behind a strong Leverstock Green B team and Rickmansworth B.
Many thanks to everyone who played in 2009 (and helped with the cooking!) Particular mention goes to the pairing of Mark Boyes and Genny Allcroft, who had a 100% record, to Sue Morgan who organised the ladies and to Gordon Willis for deputising as captain on a couple of occasions. The team will remain in Division 3 for next season, which promises to be just as enjoyable. With a few more results going Townsend’s way, promotion might just be on the horizon!
