We are now at quarter and semi final stages in most events. Seeds are winning through and we have yet to see a "big upset"..... Last night saw Hassan play though to the semis with a win against our rising junior star Kevin M. On other courts, we saw a win for Alexander B who had a good match against Ahmed, playing in his first Oadby tournament and Aditi and Charlotte won to reach the Reverse Ladies' Doubles final.
Julie H is still in all four reverse doubles events....when not on court she has been rounding up members for 100 Club and is currently at 99. Who wants the last number ? 10 prizes up for grabs at the BBQ, with top prize £50. BBQ numbers needed by tomorrow so please add your name to the list in the foyer.
Thanks to Sue I and Lois for servng up pasta bakes in the kitchen.
In the lounge, a crowd gathered for the football match, though there was a big exit at half time I noticed. Whether it was a desire to get home or despair at England's performance, I don't know.When I left, only the Chairman and David S remained, determined to sit it out until the end !
Tonight's "Pick of the Matches" is a men's singles which sees Ben M (1) play Hussein (3). Get down early to get a courtside seat. Afterwards, why not try Jayne's double crust steak pie !
Non tournament news is that our Mixed 1st team have won Division One ! Well done to all.
