Sutton-on-Derwent and Poppleton have captured the two promotion places in division eight of the IT Sports Mixed Doubles Tennis League.

Sutton’s Stuart Turner and Anna Fell won their first rubber 10-2 in a close match against Copmanthorpe, the only team that could prevent them clinching the title.

Fulford and Appleton Roebuck are still in the mix.
