So I was called up to play for the one C team at Unionville (UTC) last night. We played at home against Mayfair who are known to be a strong team. I ended up playing Mens 3 doubles, which was good seeing it was my first Inter-County match ever, let alone my first competitive tennis match.
It was a freezing night and we ended up getting on last from the 6 matches, but my partner and I started quick taking the first set 6-2. The second set we started well too, but then we started making some mistakes and we let the other team back into it and we were trailing 5-3. My partner was serving and we went through like 2 or 4 deuces before we held serve to make it 5-3. Now their best server was up, crazy server but didn’t always get it in. We ended up breaking and then rallying out another 3 games and we ended up winning the set 7-5, and with that the match.
It was a good feeling coming from behind in the second set although we should have never had to. Anyway, for my first Inter-County match I was very happy. Hope I’ll be able to play a few more this season.
