Real Tennis
It has been a very successful year for our senior Real Tennis players. Jonathan Fisher (5.67-71) reached the finals of the over-65 Doubles with his partner Jill Newby, whilst Philip Shaw-Hamilton (3.65-70) and Mark Nicholls (9.70-74), were part of the GB over- 60 Real Tennis team at the World Amateur Championships. The GB team, captained by Mark won the Bostwick Cup against Australia and the USA.
I am sure that members will be pleased to read that Mark Hubbard (SH.87-92) is organising to introduce some of the College’s rackets players to Real Tennis with visits to Moreton Morrell Real Tennis Club.
