Paul Dadvar and Paul Kaye’s 25 games helped Appleton Roebuck to their first Tyke Petroleum Men’s Tennis League 2011 win, which means every team in a close division two has won and lost at least one match.

The exceptions are Poppleton 2nds, who maintained their 100 per cent record with a 61-47 win over Castlegarth in an almost unplayable gale.

Popp captain Tom Cantrell led from the front winning 24 with partner Richard Moss, while Roger Fawcuss and young David Woon again starred for Castlegarth with 20. Mark McCandless and Gordon Milne scored a final match-winning 9-3 rubber against Rowntree Park, to seal a tight 55-53 home result.

Division one leaders York’s unbeaten start ended with a home defeat to Fulford who came from behind to pinch the result 55-53 thanks to a monumental last-gasp 10-2 by Sean Evans and Govind Baker.

Captainless Wigginton were spared the gales but couldn’t get to grips with David Lloyd under cover. Wigginton’s Angus Bradshaw had the ignominy of losing to his dad, Duncan, who ran amok with 26 games partnering Lloyd captain Rob Williams, in a 72-36 indoor win. Third division Strensall won their first game of the season in which a final 9-3 from the home side’s Damian Galloway and Alan Powell proved a match turner.

Stamford Bridge’s Tony Downing and Jason Evans with 28 contributed to a huge 78-30 demolition of Boston Spa 2.

Artem Fyodorov and Andy Cousins’ runaway 29 for Knaresborough King James counted for nothing, as their team-mates folded in the dreadful conditions, 56-52 at home to Rufforth.

Jonathan Sharpe renewed his partnership with Phil Bremner to score 24 as Sherburn returned to winning ways with a narrow 56-52 success at home to unbeaten Sutton-on-Derwent.

Bishopthorpe bash on unbeaten in division five.

James Parker and Jonny Kay contributed 28 as Bishopthorpe romped home 78-30 at struggling Alne & Tollerton. No fixture for leaders David Lloyd enabled Harlow to top division six with another impressive win, this time 73-35 at Wilberfoss 2.

Cliffe won the south of York derby away to a surprisingly subdued Riccall who didn’t cope with the blustery conditions.

Stamford Bridge 2nds outdid their division three side to win at Boston Spa 3 by an emphatic 86-22, to remain unbeaten top of fivision seven.
