Local Plymouth and surrounding district players have turned out in force this year making it one of the most supported seasons for many a year with 30 new pairings taking part in addition to the regular pairings, who turn out each year to play during the winter months.
The inaugural game of the 2024/25 season saw a very close game between Sue Newberry and Dave Gale and Pam Ellis and Ming Dai.
The first set went on serve with Pam playing some good angled shots.
Her partner, Ming, was slicing and top spinning his shots to good effect, but Sue’s backhand drop shots and hard forehands helped her and Dave take the first set.
They then went 3-0 up in the second set, only to be pegged back to 3-3. This then went on serve before Dave and Sue managed to take the set 6-4.
The final set saw Pam and Ming go 4-1 up, but Dave and Sue clawed back to 4-4. Pam and Ming rallied again and took the final set 6-4 but Dave and Sue had done enough to win overall 21-14.
