Inaugural Match

1st Team Match V Exeter University Ladies' Team

On Sunday 9^th October the DCLGA first team had their first ever fixture against Exeter University’s Ladies' Team at East Devon.  The format was 7 singles matches played off scratch. Unfortunately the University had a late withdrawal but one of their men’s team kindly stood in.  On reflection, he may have wished he hadn’t as he went out first against Chloe Howard (Boringdon Park) and was on the wrong end of a 6&5 result. The players in the second match needed no introduction as Keeley Clarke (Torquay) was up against the University Captain and her Torquay Still Cup team mate Molly Haslam.  Keeley,  straight from victories in the Devon Champion of Champions and the EG SW Foursomes, was too strong for Molly on the day. There were wins also for team captain Abby Turner (Okehampton), Emily Morey (East Devon) and Laura Tregelles (Thurlestone). We didn’t have it all our own way and the University gained 2 matches with wins over Grace Jackson (Tiverton) & Molly Pavey (Stover) and the final score was 5-2 to the 1^st Team. The match was enjoyed by all the players and it is hoped another match can be arranged in the spring.

Many thanks go to Craig Townsend of Exeter University for arranging the match, East Devon for hosting it and to the DCLGA officials who came to support the team.
