Three Top Matches Lost But Win for Whangarei

INTER-CLUB TENNIS

ALTHOUGH Whangarei easily accounted for Mairtown in the first A grade inter-club match of the Whangarei series on Saturday, the fixture was noteworthy for the defeats of R. Mullins, Miss M. Finlayson and Mullins-W. Primmer in the No. 1 games of the men’s singles, ladies’ singles and men’s doubles. R. Crawford beat Mullins in straight sets and Miss Finlayson went down to Miss B. Birchall in three sets. Crawford-Berridge bested Mullins-Prirnmer in two sets.

These were the only successes gained by Mairtown. Lack of practice and form was evident in many of the matches.
