Wednesday night saw a long reverse draw singles match with John Z fighting back against Anthony  to win on a tie break.  This event always  seems to result in some of  our  tournaments' longest matches  (usually involving George and Bob !).

In other matches Ben beat Dan 9-7 in a closely fought semi final. Dan then teamed up with Louise to beat the new pairing of Kevin and Caroline in a mixed doubles quarter final. Dan now meets Ben (and Rosie) again in the semi of this event. Can Louise pull him through once again ?



Off court, the table tennis tournament is hotting up - though the organiser says a couple of matches need to be played tonight if we are to get through all the matches. Check the draw to see  if you need to play please.

Moroccan chicken/couscous went down well and had sold out by the end of the evening.

Tonight we are keeping food simple with jacket potatoes/range of fillings.

Finals are all arranged for 3 hours on Saturday afternoon, rather than spread out over a longer time period. At the end of  tournament play we are hoping to serve some food (pizza ?)  and the bar will be open. This replaces coming back for an evening gathering - so we hope everyone playing/watching will stay for an end of tournament get together.
