Joe Reynolds and Mark Robson star as Bridlington Lawn Tennis Club Men’s A team boost survival hopes

This win keeps there hope of staying in the first division next season as Hutton Cranswick and Driffield are below them in the league.

Joe Reynolds and Mark Robson were outstanding winning all three of their matches. They are such a class couple on and off court. There volleying was first class and Reynolds’ consistent serving was inspirational.

Anthony Purvis and Andrew Purvis played well winning two sets and Anthony leading by example as captain, this was a pleasing match for him as he had to pull out of the previous meeting between the teams with injury.

So to complete the match and play so well was a good night for the captain.

Joel Rollinson teamed up with Juan Carlos Lino, who was playing because of illness, to John Bell.

The couple played well winning one set and narrowly losing a tie-break in the second set and losing the third through playing very well.

Rollinson and Lino like playing together and it certainly showed on court with their performance.

This was a terrific performance by the A team and hopefully this will be enough keep them in the first division next season.

Julie Christlow and Beth Christlow also won all three sets.

They won a close tie-break 8-7, then won 8-2 and 8-2.

Beth is really developing into a good player and the experience with playing with mum Julie is a good combination.
