International Tennis

Nelson district tennis fans had a feast of their favourite summer sport recently when the first international match, between New Zealand and the touring English team, was played at Rutherford Park. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very kind, but this hardly detracted from the fare provided. In the singles matches three of the New Zealanders won, but both doubles matches were lost to square the rubber.
