A MIX-UP at Thongsbridge Tennis Club led to the wrong teams playing each other in a Huddersfield League match.

Two teams from Mirfield arrived to play two teams from Thongsbridge and the players enjoyed a 15 minute knock-up before starting their matches, one being a Division 3 fixture and other a Division 6 game.

Almost 15 minutes into the matches it was discovered Thongsbridge’s D had started against Mirfield C, from three divisions below, while Thongsbridge F were struggling against Mirfield B from three divisions above!

Both matches had to re-start. Thongsbridge D eventually beat Mirfield B and Mirfield exacted revenge by beating Thongsbridge F.

A Mirfield spokesman said: “I’ve been playing Huddersfield League tennis for 30 years and never met this situation before.”
