Ridgeway fielded a mixed doubles team for the first time in many years on Tuesday 4th May but it ended in a 0-4 defeat to Moorgate B at the Rotherham club’s courts. After last week’s postponement against Graves because of bad weather, it was another wet night and didn’t help either side as it rained heavily during the match. Still, dessopite a defeat, it is great for the club to be competing in the Mixed League once again. Long may it continue.
