Club Given Back Points
The United senior women’s tennis team has been granted the four points in the competition that it had been penalised earlier because of its failure to return a results sheet
On the first day of this season’s competition. United beat Avonside, 4-2, but the competitions committee decided that only 10 points instead of 14 should be awarded. After receiving a letter from the club, which said that two sheets had been sent to the court on one board and the second one could not be seen, the committee decided to reverse its previous decision.
The extra four points will not affect United’s place in the competition at present It will remain second to Edgeware, with 83 points to 93, but it still has to meet Edgeware in the second round.
