Division nine of the IT Sports Mixed Tennis League provided the highest scoring couples of the week.

Elaine Hilton and Richard Doughty from Stamford Bridge only dropped three games as they brushed aside Strensall.

Close behind were Rufforth’s Denise Reilly and David Laws who matched team-mates’ Judith Evans and Bryan Claydon’s 32-game haul.

Dunnington head division two after taking the points against Copmanthorpe despite the best efforts of Cop’s unbeaten Liz Swallow and Jack Wood.

The final-round win against Stillington by Natalie Muir and Antony Downing steered Stamford Bridge to the top of division three.

They lie just above Rowntree Park, who saw off Sherburn with a fine all-round team performance.

David Lloyd proved just too good for visitors York with Sarah Smelik and Paul Adams providing the inspiration to stay ahead of fellow unbeaten side Appleton Roebuck.

The latter had to work hard against Cliffe. Chris Howat and Paul Dadvar did not drop a rubber for Appleton.

Louise Haritakis and Loch Trimingham won 25 games for Heworth in division five but still found themselves on the losing side against leaders Wetherby Castlegarth.

Cawood’s Carolynne Taylor and Tony Gosling won 31 games to start with a big win against Manor Civil Service.

Chris and Pete Moss ensured the points for Poppleton with a last-gasp 10-2 win against York.

A 30-game haul from Evelyn Atkinson and Patrick Herriot for Fulford proved decisive to start their division seven campaign with a win.

Shirley Leak and Bruce Parker won all three rubbers 10-2 for Cliffe in division 11 against Appleton Roebuck for victory.
