Our annual tennis post-Boxing Day American tournament tradition continued on Friday 27th December when 56 members shook off their seasonal overindulgences to compete in a fun, doubles-based celebration of tennis.

Magnificently run by Ramesh Rana (& Andy Patterson/Laura James behind the scenes) with support on the day from our Junior Captains & Committee of Zara, Paige, Livvy & Cormac, the operation was a success, as a timed event over 3 hours in often fraught with challenges.

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to those who subbed in last minute after over 10 short notice withdrawals!

Top 3 women:

1. Sarah McCurry 88%
2. ⁠Angela Murphy 80%
3. ⁠Helen Doyle 70%

Top 3 men:

1. Chris Owers 74%
2. ⁠Barclay Kennedy 68%
3. ⁠Richard Taylor 67%

The Chris Sanlon One Point tournament is one of the club’s most sought after pieces of silverware, and after some nail-biting contests, Cormac McCartan emerged victorious to become our youngest ever winner.

Our new season of coaching begins for adults on Monday 6th January and for juniors on Sunday 5th January.

Sign up for these classes from Thursday 2nd January (members) and Friday 3rd January (visitors).

Happy New Year to all.
