We have two Smith Cup events – one for Ladies played on Saturday April 1st with the Mens following it on Sunday April 2nd. The normal idea is for everyone to get back into a bit of competitive play before the start of the summer league season. This year for the first time, the winter league scheduled to finish at the end of February had still to complete after so many re-arrangement for snow, rain etc!
Well done and thank you to all the pairs who played. I watched the Ladies play, it was a real mix of pairs from each of our teams : A, B, C and D, with the D team pair in particular enjoying the opportunity and challenge of coming up against strong opponents. They can be justifiably proud that they won games in all their sets. The winners of the event were Elaine Leitch and Sam Williamson.
I’m sure the Mens event was played in the same spirit. Winners here were Nick Ward and George Nicolaidis. Well done especially to Nick who also won last year with Andy Cholerton.
