Another good performance from Charleigh

Charleigh Kirby put in another good performance for Cippenham in the Women’s British League played at Doncaster at the weekend. The 14-year old, with the responsibility as number one player in a side containing older and more experienced players, shone as she won eight of her ten matches. Having put in a similar performance in the first weekend in September, her record puts her as the most successful player for Cippenham in any of the British leagues this season.

Charleigh scored when it mattered most. Against De Vere NETTS, she impressively beat both Kelly Skeggs and Cherith Graham 3-0 as Cippenham matched the Division 3 champions in a 3-3 draw. Another 3-0 win over Katherine Le Fevre and 3-1 over Stephanie Donnelly gave Cippenham another 3-3 draw with Ormesby 2 and yet another brace saw Cippenham hand out a resounding 5-1 defeat of Halton 2. Against Halton, Tanya Waller also came good with two wins and Sue Hayes chipped in with another.

Cippenham suffered defeats in the two matches in which Charleigh scored only one. Against both Byng Hall A and Woolwell, Denise Weller also scored one as Cippenham went down 4-2.

Tanya managed three wins from eight altogether during the weekend while Denise and Sue contributed two each from six starts. Despite an improved performance generally from the team, a poor first weekend meant a fifth-placed finish only.
