AND then there were none. Last Sunday, David Lloyd A the only remaining unbeaten team in the Bolton Sports Federation Winter Tennis League, suffered defeat at the hands of Astley.

It was an excellent match, full of hard-hitting, attacking tennis but not without the occasional niceties of delicate drop volleys from Astley's Hannah Wilson and opponent Wendy Birchall.

The difference between the two sides was the play of Ken Nixon but he was well supported by Miss Wilson, a ferociously aggressive young lady, by Mandy Holmes and by Andrew Westmoreland.

For David Lloyd, Wendy Birchall confirmed her rapid development as one of the cleanest hitters around, Alistair Young impressed with his all-round ability and exceptional speed of foot, Jim Lever showed a winner's talent for producing the right shot when it mattered and skipper Sarah Bleakley carried the fight with her usual brio.
