XMAS PARTY AND TOURNAMENT 19th DEC 2011

A very successful and enjoyable evening was had by all.

The Senior doubles tournament final was keenly watched by most of the club members attending Monday night's session.The final was between Michael Smith + Gary Dawson v Gerbo Huisman + Stephens Loudes. The first game was very closely contested and could have been won by either side, but Michael and Gary managed to sneak a win and from then on gained confidence and and won the next two games to win the final 3-0.
