Dumfries Sports Club

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.

Dumfries Tennis Club committee has been working for over a year now trying to raise funds to complete some much needed rejuvenation work on all four tennis courts. The funds have now been secured without any financial burden being placed on the main sports club and the work has now been booked in.

Therefore please note that the tennis courts will be closed on Mon 13th September 2010 and it is anticipated that the works will take approximately 5 days to complete.

The Tennis committee apologises for any inconvenience that this may cause, however without these works the courts would be unplayable over the winter and during wet periods.

Regards, Dumfries Tennis Club Committee
