Last weekend, March 9/10th, saw the Finals of our inter club competitions sponsored by Jennifer Cunningham. The competitors were well supported by the members which was really good to see. All matches were played in the correct spirit of the game which was a pleasure to witness. Reminds me of a saying “ it matters not if you won or lost but how you played the game “.
The winners: Ladies singles Shirley Hadaway and men’s singles Garth Slater ( pictured) Please check the notice board for a full list of results.
Congratulations to all the winners and runners up, without you there would be no games. Good to see some new names coming through the ranks.
Thanks must go to David Hadaway, comp sec, and his helpers for organizing the event. Thanks also, to our resident umpire, Peter Bailey. The weekend rounded off with a buffet sponsored by Jennifer Cunningham and created by Louisa, Santiago and staff.
