We raise an appeal for players to train up and turn up to challenge our Champions.
For some years the Singles Trophies have been taken home by Malcolm and Elizabeth. It is great to see younger and newer entrants rattle the champions but they weren’t shaken enough to have to play a deciding 3rd game, let a lone get beaten. Can you make a challenge?

The doubles partners are randomly selected which allows other players to shine. Dirk and Jack played consistently well, progressing through to the finals and to take home trophies. May the future see many hopeful players become Champions and to the enjoyment of everyone playing to the best of their ability.
