2008 Season In the West Norfolk Men’s Division 2, the team enjoyed a very good season only losing two out of ten matches, drawing one and winning seven, of which some were 8-0 victories. Thanks to these very positive results it means that the men’s team earned themselves a promotion and will be challenging the top teams in the area in Division 1 for the 2009 season. The Ladies team within the North West Norfolk League, finished mid table, after winning two matches, drawing one and losing the other three. However, the ladies enjoyed the challenge of playing tougher opposition and the scores did not always reflect the closeness of the game. The Mixed team were trying to gain Division 1 status again this season in the North West Norfolk League and have ended up in third place in this Division and therefore just miss out on promotion. They lost three hard fought matches but won all their other matches. For the 2008 season, Wisbech Tennis Club decided to enter two new teams with a Men’s team for the first time, and a second Mixed team into the Peterborough and Hunts league. This was purely down to the number of members who wanted to play matches but were not given the opportunity to do so in previous years. Due to the success of these teams and the demand to play in them, they are being continued in the 2009 season. The new Men’s team was entered into Division 5 and experienced mixed results. As it was the first season for this team there was little prior knowledge to how strong the competition would be. Despite this they still managed to pick up two wins and two draws out of seven matches which gave them a mid table finish. With encouraging results the team can only go on to improve in the future. The two Mixed teams were both in Division 5 for the 2008 season and received very similar results. The ‘A’ team finished just below the ‘B’ team due to a match that was called at a draw, where they finished in 6th and 5th place respectively. The ‘A’ team had a good start to the season with a win against the ‘B’ team and went on to win another two matches and draw two more. The ‘B’ team enjoyed a more successful second half of the season where they picked up four wins. The Ladies team were also in Division 5 and secured three wins, with the pairing being rotated around, to allow more players to get to competitive play and gain valuable experience match play. The 2008 season was a good season for the Wisbech Tennis Club. Every team involved made considerable improvements over their positions from the previous season and encountered a greater range of players of all standards and abilities, gaining valuable match play experience at a more competitive level. |
