Despite the damp conditions, the second and final home match of the Aegon Team Tennis League went ahead on Sunday. A big thank you to the cricket section for allowing us to borrow some of their kit which allowed us to make the courts playable.
Dumfries fresh from their previous victory entertained Livilands 2 who are from Stirling. With a near faultless performance from Dumfries No1 Colin Dunbar (6-1, 6-0), the match couldn’t have started any better for Dumfries and despite the heavy damp tennis balls the Stirling team never really troubled the home team.
Chris Topping (6-3, 6-3), Lister McKiddie (6-3, 6-2) and Dan McKiddie (6-4, 6-3) also had straight set wins and with Colin & Lister (6-1, 6-2) and Chris and Dan (6-2, 6-3) completing the victory, Dumfries sit top of the league after their two games. They now have two tricky away fixtures to complete the league, the first is away to Queens Park on the 10th with the Clarkston game still to be arranged.
