American Tournament
20th May 2023
What a great start we had to this season’s series of American tournaments! The weather was perfect and the 16 players made the most of it over two hours of tennis.
The usual format saw players paired up randomly in mixed teams (man/woman) then play four matches, swopping courts and partners after each match.
There was some great tennis and lots of fun rallies. You could tell that everyone was keen to win by the desperate scrambling that was on show!
It was a tight-run thing with only 7 points separating the top six, but in the end the overall winner was Jim Nichols with a whopping 27 points.
Jim was awarded with the prize of a fabulous fruit hamper kindly donated by Regal Fruit and Veg of Otley Road, Harlow Hill.
At the end everyone celebrated with a buffet made up of food that each player brought along – a smorgasbord of cakes, scones, crisps, biscuits and other healthy fare!
Thanks to all who participated and made the afternoon one to remember. Get your name down early if you want to play in the next tournament on 17th June.
