Sept 2015 Club Tournament Rules

Done. Dusted.

Opening Season Tourney over for another year. Well done to all the winners and finalists today, and to everyone who took part throughout the week.

Some great stuff in the scorching heat. 2 tense tie breaks in the mixed doubles with Alex and Caroline ultimately coming through to take the crown. PHT managing to win all 4(four) of his matches with a dodgey groin. And well done to Theo for winning the men's singles reverse on his oadby tournament debut!

A poor showing from all 4 involved in the men's doubles final though. Taking to the court without any tennis balls and then moaning to the desk that they weren't given a new set is exactly the sort of behaviour that will be remembered and greeted with an unfavourable schedule next time round...;)

Also, apologies to Lilia and Matt for getting them out of bed so early this morning. Apparently, i should've known that juniors and 10am semi finals aren't a good fit!

Thanks to Louise and the kitchen staff, and to all who have assisted with the smooth running of the tournament this week.

Bring on the summer!

Wednesday and Thursday

A very busy couple of days...36 matches played to be exact! Well done to all of you who have defied tiredness, soreness, injury or age to play 2-3 a night.

A mention tonight for Minski and O'Connor's matching pink highlighter coloured attire. Serious thought and planning had clearly gone in there so well done guys but brave, very brave..:)

Luckiest/Jammiest git of the week award goes to second team skipper Alex Brown who somehow came through all 3 of his matches tonight! (No bitterness whatsoever from my side for robbing me of the chance to play in a couple of finals) Definitely think a dabble on the euromillions is in the offing for you tomorrow night Browny!

We're down to the last few semis and then finals now so please do come down on Saturday and have a butcher's! Matches from 10-3.

Highlight could well be seeing the chair be 'bashed from side to side' (her words) as Katie and Steph take on the might of Lilia and Rosie in the women's doubles final.

Enjoy a well deserved tennis-free Friday folks.

And just to add.....

For some reason the TD failed to mention the first match on/off at 6pm yesterday when he did a demolition job on his own father in the men's singles.....with barely raising a sweat....cruel !

Not yet paid your fees ? Please pay tonight to avoid the debtors' list going public tomorrow ! 

Food tonight will be jacket potatoes with range of fillings. Off to Asda to get supplies soon....

Tuesday Heatwave

Beautiful day to be on a tennis court, as the standard of tennis went up a notch! So did the volume on courts 3 and 4 as both Gordon and Tim both appeared to be losing it at times...as we all know, playing against Hussein and Ben respectively can do this to any player!

Some of the seeds starting to motor now, thanks to those who played multiple matches!

There was an excellent women's singles on court 2, congratulations to Grace for putting up with Leavy and those ridiculous goggles and have to get in that Andy had a smashing time out on court 6...good to see the competitive spirit coming to the fore!

Thursday's schedule now up but there will be a couple more matches added in at 8 so please stay
alert...

Final's schedule will be up tomorrow.

And tonight....

On the menu is Moroccan chicken with couscous.
