The men's 1st team had a tough start to their 2015/2016 season with their first 3 fixtures against potential promotion prospects.
The opener was away to Northumberland 2, always a team with strength and depth. Concordia could only manage 7 points with wins from Tony Hedley and Simon Long.
The second match, also away, was against a team who came down from the Premier league last season. Even with one or two missing Sunderland 1 were a formidable outfit. Only Ian McAllister, playing at 5 managed a win on gloriously warm courts which suited him. Just 4 team points to show for this Wearside venture.
The next 2 matches were at home where 'cooler' courts might have offered some advantage. Not so against the young University 2 team all of whom hit the ball so very well and covered the court with ease. 7 points was all the team could muster.
The latest fixture offered some respite with 20 points from a slightly older Hexham team who tried to come to terms with not only Concordia's colder courts but a sprinkling of dust to boot. Not our finest hour but we needed those points.
The 4 remaining fixtures on the run up to Christmas offer an opportunity to add some points and get somewhere near mid table although Tynemouth 2 early December will be a big ask.
The fixture list is on the wall at the back of the courts, home games are played on Thursday evenings, come along and support the team.
