One of the newest clubs in the VMH Solicitors East tennis leagues – David Lloyd, Shawfair1 – have won Division 9a after going head-to-head with rivals Gullane over the 10 match season just ended.
Captained by Zak Rafih the Danderhall based outfit edged out Gullane on sets won after each club had won their home tie in the fixture leaving points level at 18 apiece.
There were some notable individual performances from DL Shawfair notably from Dylan Weir (who ironically missed the photo call). Dylan won all 12 sets played.
Others to excel were Neil Fraser (19 sets won, 1 lost), Stoyan Ivanov (17-1), Zak Rafih (16-2), Aaron Matthews (15-1), Kevin Soto (15-3) and Craig Nisbet (10-2).
Other teams in the league were Waverley 3, Dalgety Bay 4, Dalkeith 3 and Lomond Park 5.
Zak Rafik said: “Very chuffed … very excited to keep climbing and see where we can get to/”
