6 April 2014The 2014 Millennium Cup opened with emphatic 7-2 win by Wigmore over Telford Park at home.
Five time winners, Telford Park, found themselves at the wrong end of the scoreline, although Kayla Turner, the Under 16s Girl, scored a convincing win over Sharleen Hussey and the men’s doubles pair of Bong Wong & Peter Gaspar defeated Matt Gordon & Terry McGranaghan in straight sets.
Telford were unlucky not to gain a third point when stalwart Keith Lavender lost the champions tiebreak to Luca Dogliotti after a long battle.
Wigmore’s Clare Saunders was stretched in her opening singles set but won comfortably enough and their ladies doubles combination of Sue Jeffries & Sharon Gambs had a match on their hands.
