The club’s 123rd anniversary was celebrated in fine style on September 10: a full house of 48 tennis players (plus supporters ) battled out roundrobin and knockout stages for the prize of the brand new Fox Trophy, presented by our four-legged friends (really? -ed) . Steve Lynch, fighting through the tendonitis pain barrier,,and John Williams ou-foxed Julian Sanders and Anna Scott to hoist the cup after an epic 7/6 (11-9) final involving 6 matchpoints in front of a very vocal Crabbie-fuelled crowd. Renael and Peter Cooper won the Plate and Matt Barker and Olivia the Saucer. Radek’s BBQ hit the spot, the weather just about co-operated and the bar jumped til gone midnight. Many thanks to Rachel,Ant and Kirsty for organising .
