Guildford and Godalming beat Sussex County 4-3 on 2 August 2024
A warm and humid day for this match between two teams that knew each other well. The two singles matches resulted in one win for each team, both only requiring two games for a result. The doubles match was fiercely contested, with Julie and John eventually winning against Vincent and David in three close games and so GGCC took a slender 2-1 lead into the afternoon singles.
In the afternoon singles Vincent and David got their own backs, beating Julie and John. With a win for Hilary the match was finely poised at 3 games a piece and the outcome would be determined by the result of the match between Laki and Janet. Laki won the first game but Jan dug deep and managed to win the next two games to take the game and win the match for GGCC by the narrowest of margins. Janet was the star of the day for GGCC winning both her matches but pleasingly, all members contributed a point.
The teams were Guildford and Godalming: Julie Tremble, John Gosden, Janet Honeysett and Hilary Bird
Sussex County: Vincent L’Estrange, David King, Laki Marangos and Rosemary Faulkner.
