The Isle of Wight Senior County Squad followed up their excellent start to the season having beaten Somerset 7-4 and Dorset 4, 6-5 in the opening weekend of the Senior County Championships with two defeats. The Island side went down 9-2 to a strong Hampshire side with Kes Downer/James Phillips & David Anderson/Yoaan Belon picking up the only two games of the match. The final match of the day against Herefordshire was a closer affair going down to the final two mixed games. James & Lucy Baggott pulled of a good victory beating their opponents 21-16, 21-18 but defeat for Kes & Sophie Baggott resulted in a 6-5 defeat.
The team was Sophie Baggott, Lucy Baggott, Rosie Hancock, Jessica Gilbert, David Anderson, Yoann Belon, Kes Downer, Stuart Isaacs & James Phillips
It was a day of mixed fortunes with Stuart Isaacs breaking his back in two places forcing him out. We all wish Stuart a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on court in the not to distant future.
Congratulation must go to Sophie who played her 50th Cap for the Island and received a well deserved cake from the team.
