Combined Doubles

Combined Doubles.

Miss Edwards and Morrison v. Miss Gray and Miller (O.U_(Won, 6-1, 8-6.) In the first set V.U.C. outclassed O.U., but at one stage in the second were down 1-4. A fine recovery gave us a win in two sets. Morrison was in his best form and Pat Edwards very steady.

Miss Grainger and McCarthy v. Miss Riley and Green (O.U.) (Won, 6-4, 6-8, 8-6.) A most exciting match, particularly in the final set. Janet Grainger made some mistakes in the second, but played excellent tennis in the third set, and McCarthey played a guileful game right through.

Miss Grainger and McCarthy v. Miss Gerard and Walls (C.U.C.) (Lost, 6-4, 5-7, 1-6.) In the semi-final V.U.C. played steadily in the first set but could not retain their grip and eventually went down. McCarthy's kicking service was particularly dangerous in the first set, but our pair seemed to lose sting after the second.

Miss Edwards and Morrison v. Miss Wright and Widdup (C.U.C.) (Won, 8-6, 6-1.) The first set was a keen tussle, V.U.C. winning from 6 all, but V.U.C. won the second easily. Morrison was fine at the net and Miss Edwards was driving well.

Miss Edwards and Morrison v. Miss Gerard and Walls (C.U.C.) (Lost 6-2, 6-0) The V.U.C. pair had reached the final but found C.U.C. too tough. The first set was an easy win for C.U.C., Walls playing brilliantly, and the second went to 4-1 before V.U.C. temporarily recovered and won three games. However, C.U.C. took the two games to win the match and the championship.
