Ladies extend unbeaten run with convincing win
Montrose Tennis Club's ladies first team extended their unbeaten streak into the second half of the season.
A 9-3 win against Broughty Ferry 1 last week sees them remain at the top of Tennis Tayside's Division 2.
Orla McLeod and Jenna Henderson won their four sets and their record which now reads 14-1 for the season is easily the best in the division.
Allie Henderson and Amy Tewson won three sets and Wendy Sanger and June Buchan won two.
Rachel Sheehan and Angela Smith won two sets for Broughty Ferry, and Alison Thomson and Judith Lynch won one.
The ladies second team won 8-4 at Anstruther, with Bel Forbes and Sarah Simpson winning three sets, as did Lindsey Ward and Evelyn Kerr.
Linda Richardson and Carolyn Kerr won two sets for Montrose.
The third team lost 11-1 away against division leaders St Andrews 3, with Rhona Alston and Jenny Munro accounting for Montrose's only point.
St Andrews' resurgent tennis programme provided extremely stiff competition for Montrose sides last week.
The first team men lost 11-1 to the Division 1 leaders as Cameron Fryer and Eddie Baxter accounted for Montrose's point.
Montrose's second team found St Andrews 2 nearly as formidable, losing by 10-2.
Facing another side at the top of the table, Simon Rolfe and Stuart Matthews won one set, as did Graeme Walker and Charlie Kerr.
The third team had a much easier time of it, beating David Lloyd 3 by 12-0.
The veteran pairing of Alister Sievewright and Ian Matthews had a rare perfect night, winning four sets without dropping a game.
Liam O'Brien and Duncan Lyall won their sets with the loss of just five games, while Nick Wilson and David Hill lost just seven.
Meanwhile, the club's fruit kebab and lucky dip stall at the Montrose Music Festival raised £500.
