Streetly Head Tennis Coach Neil Goldsby, went undefeated during his debut for England in the over 35’s home international staged at Cardiff last weekend.

The opening tie against Ireland, poised at one all after the two singles, went down to a deciding doubles match. Goldsby teamed up with Lancashire player Michael Ingham, to beat an inspired Irish pair 7-5  6-4, coming from 5-2 behind in the first set.

The second tie against pre-tournament favourites Scotland also had to be decided by the final doubles match. Goldsby and Ingham paired up again to secure victory with a 6-4 6-4 win.

England needed to beat Wales in the final tie to ensure overall victory in the competition. Goldsby posted a win at number one singles, and then teamed up with Hereford and Worcester player, Tim Bibby to complete a 3-0 whitewash, and round off a memorable event.
