Middlesex Winter Mixed Cup 2013-14 Division 3 Finals

The Middlesex Winter Mixed Cup 2013-14 Division 3 Finals was played at Highgate Tennis today on a lovely warm afternoon.

We had perfect conditions for the Middlesex Cup final on Sunday, and the warm sunny day saw plenty of club members turning up to support the Highgate team in their show down with Hackney City.

Highgate went 2-1 up in the first round, with wins from Phil Bennett & Laura Almond and Chris Sullivan & Laura Morrison.  However, Hackney City levelled the score at 3-3 after the second round, with Rob Heeney & Nicky Wellfair winning their match for Highgate.

So it was all to play for in the final round….  Phil & Laura secured another win, but despite a valiant effort from the Highgate team the other two matches both went to Hackney, resulting in a final score of 5-4 to Hackney City.

Well done to Laura Almond, Phil Bennett, Laura Morrison, Chris Sullivan, Nicky Wellfair and Rob Heeney for putting a good fight and providing some great tennis for the spectators.  Well done also to those who contributed over the past few months in the Cup matches, it’s been great to see so many people keen to represent Highgate this year!

Congratulations to Hackney City who eventually won the very closely fought match in 5 rubbers to 4 after nearly 5 hours of play.
