Matthew and Louise McGann to the fore in Limavady - 09/08/2008

Louise wins in Limavady

The North West Harcourt Championships took place last week in Limavady. Enniskillen Tennis club was represented there by Matthew and Louise McGann.

Matthew reached the final once again in the Men's 'A' singles. He faced David Craig from Limavady. It was a thrilling match which went to three sets. Frustratingly, at three games all in the final set, Matthew pulled his hamstring and was forced to retire so David took the title. Final score 4-6, 7-5, 3-3.

Louise reached the final of the Ladies 'B' singles but lost in straight sets 4-6, 4-6. However, she also reached the final of the 'B' Mixed Doubles with partner Alan Workman from Garvagh. It began with an easy first set to the pair and they were 5-2 up in the second when the pressure reached them. They lost in the second set in the tie-break. The third set was a hard fight with a lot of breaks of serve. Louise was serving for the match at 5-4 up. Her nerve held and they took the title. Final score 6-2, 6-7, 6-4.
