Double victory for Dumfries teams
21 09 2014Both Dumfries teams suffered defeats in the opening weekend (14th Sept) of the Aegon National Tennis Leagues. In league 2 Dumfries A traveled to Perth to play the Tayside league champions but found them too hot as Kinnoull Tennis Club won all four singles matches and both doubles to take the match 12-0. In the 4th division Dumfries B took on the Central league champions Falkirk and again the visitors were far to good for Dumfries as they won the match 12-0. This week (21st) saw a change in fortunes as both Dumfries teams managed to win their matches against 2 teams from Livilands Tennis Club who are based in Stirling. Their 1st team traveled to Dumfries to play Dumfries A but unfortunately they only managed to travel with 3 players. Dan McKiddie and Alex Shearman won their singles matches with Lister McKiddie losing his but Lister and Dan secured the win with victory in the doubles, this gave Dumfries A the match 10-2. Dumfries B took the long trip to Stirling to play Livilands 2 for the 3rd time in 4 years but on this occasion they managed to secure a victory. Lewis Gilmour, Chad Lawson and Michael Goldie all secured wins in the singles and Lewis and Chad completed the victory in the doubles, this gave Dumfries an 8-2 victory which is Dumfries B’s first ever win in the national leagues.
Next week (28th) sees Dumfries A travel to Glasgow to play Glasgow Uni whilst Dumfries B entertain Kirkhill Tennis Club from Glasgow.

Tennis: South of Scotland County match
15 07 2014South of Scotland County tennis team recently played against Warwickshire in the over 45s GB league at Dumfries Sports Club.
The match was fiercely contested. In the first round, Lister McKiddie teamed up with another local, Fraser Patterson, of Dalbeattie who played doubles against a strong first couple and lost 6-2, 6-3. There were a lot of close games however Lister and Fraser could not quite win the crucial points.
Derek Lauder of Esporta Hamilton (originally Prestwick) played first singles and had a very long match going down 6-3, 6-4.
Terry McGuigan of Ayr played the second singles and pushed his opposite number all the way despite having picked up a calf injury early in the match.
In the second round, Lister and Fraser teamed up again and although in a winning position in both sets could not close out the match and lost 6-4, 7-5. The last match involved Derek and Terry teaming up in a doubles and going down 6-4, 6-2.
The overall result therefore was a 5-0 defeat but there are promising signs for the future league matches and they hope to bounce back in the next matches.
