Telford Park's Maule clubs Magdalen's Willcocks in South London League two set disaster
It doesn't get any worse than this for Magdalen Park's Willcocks. In fine fettle after dispatching Dunball on Thursday, Willcocks braved the unusual surface at Telford Park and powered to a 5-2 first set lead against Maule, despite having been forced to substitute the tennis balls for titanium-powered bouncers.
After a banana and water break, Willcocks went AWOL, losing 7 straight games in this vital South London League fixture. Gone was the trademark consistency, vanished the telling first serve, quelled the penetrating forehand - all replaced by lack-lustre, error-prone tennis in the face of Maule's steely mental resolve. After much cussing, Willcocks bowed out to Maule, a worthy 7-5, 6-2 winner.
