35+ Men Just Miss Out on Promotion!

The Over 35 County Cup delivered its mix of excitement and heartbreak at Devonshire Park, Eastbourne. Despite 2 members of the team suffering injuries they won 2 out of 3 matches and finished equal 1st place only to miss out on promotion to Group 1 by virtue of rubbers won and lost over the 3 matches.

Cheshire beat Oxfordshire 3 - 2 and the group winners Suffolk 3 - 2 but lost to Kent 3 - 2 in a very tight group.

Team Captain, Pedro Ocana said “We’ve had a brilliant few days of competitive tennis, great matches and, most importantly, a fantastic team spirit. The team competed for every single point, rubber and match, showing, as always, the fighting spirit that Cheshire is so well known for throughout Tennis GB.

It’s been a real pleasure representing Cheshire together, and we’re incredibly proud of the effort, commitment and team spirit shown by everyone.” The 5 man team was: Pedro Ocana, Seb Jackson, Jonny Kinsella, Tim Murray and Mike Austin
