5-1 win to go into the Scottish Cup quarter-finals

3 06 2008

Dumfries Men’s Tennis Team had one of their best ever Scottish Cup performances in winning in great style 5 – 1 against Peebles to go into the quarter finals of the National stage of the Scottish Cup.

The Dumfries team comprised Mickey Breen and Chris Topping at No 1, Colin Dunbar and Lister McKiddie at No 2 with Will Ziegler and Jack Copland at No 3. Dumfries now takes on one of the top Edinburgh Clubs, Dean, this Saturday, 7th June and hopefully can create an upset.

This was due to be a home fixture but due to the junior tournament being held at Nunholm that day the match will take place at Dalbeattie at 1pm.
