Ellesmere second in Browning Shield • By Jacob Page ELLESMERE HAS finished runners-up to Mid-Canterbury at the Browning Shield tournament at Wilding Park over the weekend. Mid-Canterbury won the symbol of Canterbury Country senior tennis supremacy for the sixth consecutive year, going unbeaten against all competition which also included Malvern and North Canterbury. Ellesmere last won the Browning Shield in the 2012/2013 season and pushed Mid-Canterbury all the way in the opening fixture on Saturday before losing 13 matches to 11. Ellesmere went on to beat Malvern 13-5 and North Canterbury 13-11. Ellesmere held their own against the defending champions in the men’s and women’s singles as well as the men’s and women’s doubles but they lost five of six mixed doubles matches which effectively cost them the tie and the Browning Shield. Ellesmere won five of six men’s singles against Malvern to set-up their victory. They also won all three women’s doubles encounters. They then won four of the six mixed doubles to edge a spirited North Canterbury challenge in their final encounter. Ellesmere team captain Steven Baird said it was disappointing to lose after coming so close but he believed second was a fair outcome. POISE: Jonathon Nowley plays a backhand against Mid-Canterbury. “To win the Browning Shield, it has to be a team effort, you can’t spend time looking at one result and thinking about what might have been.” He said Brendon Jones produced some strong performances on day one, while Julian Main stepped up on day two. Dave Withell won all three of his matches against North Canterbury to help secure second. Baird said Letitia Jackson fought hard at the top of the women’s seedings all weekend. Regular club competition returns on Saturday. TOUCH: Julian Main goes for a lob shot. STRETCH: Mel Williams tries to get the ball on her strings. SERVE: Nicole Fitchett starts the next point. CONTROL: Brendon Jones concentrates on the line of the ball. CONCENTRATION: Heidi Blackburn looks to produce a winner.
