with little between the teams<br />
apart from a few nervy unforced<br />
errors and easy put-aways at the<br />
net, but then at 3-2 down <strong>in</strong> the<br />
first set the boys suddenly started<br />
to spot the angles and movements<br />
of their opponents at the net to<br />
hit some stunn<strong>in</strong>g w<strong>in</strong>ners down<br />
the l<strong>in</strong>e and pick up volleys from<br />
the floor that nobody thought<br />
possible and suddenly they started<br />
to believe…they could actually<br />
w<strong>in</strong> this! After com<strong>in</strong>g back from<br />
15-40 down <strong>in</strong> two games runn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the boys just seemed <strong>in</strong>spired at<br />
sudden death deuce and took the<br />
first set. With confidence runn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
high, their play just got better and<br />
after a couple of stunn<strong>in</strong>g crowd<br />
pleas<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>ts it was suddenly<br />
all over….they’d actually done it -<br />

The f<strong>in</strong>al day…<br />
“<strong>Surrey</strong> lead the match 3-1 over<br />
Middlesex go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to the doubles<br />
on the f<strong>in</strong>al day. However, <strong>Surrey</strong><br />
had now lost Gemma Heath to<br />
<strong>in</strong>jury, mean<strong>in</strong>g that three players<br />
weren’t eligible for the doubles due<br />
to <strong>in</strong>jury- Jizel, Eloise and Gemma.<br />
Fortunately Freya Hampton-Evans<br />
showed her commitment to <strong>Surrey</strong><br />
by travel<strong>in</strong>g up early Saturday<br />
morn<strong>in</strong>g and giv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Surrey</strong> the<br />
opportunity to field a full doubles<br />
team. Freya and Elisa would play<br />
two doubles and Alessandra and<br />
Kung would move up and play one<br />
doubles.<br />
Middlesex took the lead w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the first set <strong>in</strong> both doubles and<br />
then w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g the number two<br />
doubles match, mak<strong>in</strong>g the score<br />
<strong>Surrey</strong> 3-2 Middlesex. Kung and<br />
Alessandra were able to claw<br />
back and w<strong>in</strong> the second set<br />
6-4 and take the match <strong>in</strong>to a<br />
championship tiebreak. Kung and<br />
Alessandra had done fantastically<br />
well to take the match to a<br />
third set aga<strong>in</strong>st a pair<strong>in</strong>g with<br />
comb<strong>in</strong>ed rat<strong>in</strong>gs that were three<br />
above them. They fought hard and<br />
were able to pull off the tiebreak<br />
of the championship w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />
10-5, and with that <strong>Surrey</strong> won the<br />
County Cup Championship.”<br />
