🎾🎾 It was a tough summer season for our Men’s A team, who faced formidable opposition in division 1 and finished the season with a couple of draws but no wins on the board. As a result, they fall down to division 2 next summer 🙁

Well done to the core team of captain Iain Horlock, Stuart Loudwell, James Morbey and Barry Follett who battled hard throughout, ably supported by many others including Toby Taylor, Rob Haines, Adrian Wood, Peter Moroz and Owen Barribal.

Thanks to everyone who played, a valiant effort!💪👏

Congratulations to club member Susan Green on her first match for Devon Ladies! A tough result but great to represent the county 😊💪

DEVON LADIES V SOUTH WALES OVER 70’s

The final match for the over 70s ladies team was played on 25th August at the Morfa Tennis Centre in Swansea. Jill & Josie, the Devon first pair, got off to an excellent start going 3-0 up but the South Wales pair of Mary & Judy who had not played together before soon started to play better and managed to break back. There were some long hard hitting rallies but eventually Jill & Josie broke serve at 5-5 and won the set 7-5. Despite a lot of deuces the Welsh pair dominated the 2nd set and won it 6-0. Jill & Josie got off to a good start in the 10 point tiebreak but the Welsh pair caught up to 6 - 6 and then won 3 points to go 9-6 up. Jill & Josie fought hard and the Welsh pair made a few unforced errors which allowed the Devon pair to catch up to 9 -9. From then on it was a real battle with both pairs missing opportunities to close out the match. Eventually the Devon pair were able to clinch the match 17 -15!
Barbara and Susan, the second Devon pair were not able to do so well. It was Susan’s first match for Devon and therefore they were determined to try and play as well as they possibly could. Maybe they tried too hard and even though they had lots of deuces and good rallies they did not manage to convert either match into a win.
For Josie and Jill,the first set of the second match against Freda and Kim was also a real battle. Most of the games went to deuce with long rallies and each pair trying to out manoeuvre the other. Again the Devon pair started well but the Welsh pair came back and won the set 6-4. In the second set accurate lobbing by Kim and excellent net play by Freda dominated and the Devon pair rather ran out of steam to lose it 6-2.

🎾🎾 The competitive summer season is starting to draw to a close for Seaton’s nine league teams.

It proved a very successful one for Mixed C, who finished 2nd in Division 3 and secured promotion for 2027. The season was also memorable for not having a single match postponed for rain!

Despite facing some very strong opposition – most notably David Lloyd B and Bovey Tracey A – the team chalked up an impressive 6 wins. Thanks go to captain Jenny Moroz and her squad of Peter Moroz, Dave Wraith, James Morbey, Adrian Wood, Steve Grant, Donna Moss, Sarah Hudson & Jane Silk – who celebrated with the traditional end of season curry!

Mixed B achieved a solid mid-table finish one division higher, winning 4 matches, drawing 2, and losing 4. Captain Barry Follett played all 10 games, supported by Matt Rayner-Parr, James Morbey, Adrian Wood and Peter Moroz. Julie Hopkinson led the appearances for the ladies, supported by Jo Little, Carolyn Adkin, Donna Moss, Teresa Hancock, Jane Silk and Jenny Moroz.
