Fw: Tennis blog update

Hi Bloggers

Winter update - the WL teams are nearing the end of the campaign and have had mixed results . In the mens div1 Ashley has done extremely well to finish around the 3rd place mark with an array of partners after the unfortunate injury of John . Tamas and Graham finish with 12 points and are hoping to retain their position in div1 . Howard/Gary/Nigel/Stevie have been relegated from div 3 , but Kevin/Colin have won promotion from div 4 . Ryland/Andre/Chris have finished mid-table in div 5 . Whilst in the ladies our two teams both in the top division have done well , and Joan/Jill in the top 3 .

Our AGM is on April 1st - no joke it is true , so please be there .

Sproughton tennis blog Oct

Hi Bloggers .

Lots of happenings at Sproughton . The juniors had a match v St Johns , and although the youngsters went down 0-4 , they improved greatly , and lost a host of game tie-break points , if they had of won half they would have picked up a few sets . Well done to Harrison and Franky , but especially well done to Louis and Sam who made their debuts and improved greatly .

Our older group won their match 4-0 , but like the juniors , the score was closer than it sounds .

3 of our juniors competed in the Woodbridge tournament , Oliver doing well , Harrison finishing 4th , and Elliott winning his competition and a nice medal .Well done all .

Successful summer

Sproughton Tennis Club has had yet another very successful summer league campaign.

 

Well done to Mens 2, Mens 3 and Mixed 2 who all got promoted.

 

Ladies 1 and Mixed 1 did well to stay in their respective divisions which were both tough leagues.

 

Mens 1 were relegated from a very hard Division 1 but avoided finishing bottom.

 

Well done to all players, especially those who helped out when needed.

 

Enjoy your winter tennis!

Autumn blog

Hi Sproughton bloggers .

The junior autumn leagues have started with the youngs being very close . William M looks the favourite in the Premier league ,with 2 wins from his opening matches , but a strong challenge from Harrison and Louis looks likely .

In the Championship , Oliver has completed his matches and has 4 wins and a draw , but Bethany M has started well, and also Elliott , there is a lot to play for .

The olds 11-18 years old , have also started and Tyler and Edward have won their opening match , Joe leads win 2 wins , but it is too close to call at the moment .

Anyone interested in joining please contact the club , as there are spaces especially in the 11-18 year old group .

Floodlit mixed champions

Hi Bloggers .

 

Floodlit round up :

 

What a winter season , decent weather to start with ,then poor . Big congratulations must go to the floodlit mixed for winning the top division this season , a tremendous performance pushing Ipswich SC into 2nd place . The floodlit men unfortunately were relegated from a strong div 1 and will join the 2nd mens team who stayed in div 2 . The 2nd mixed team stayed in 3 and the ladies again did us proud coming 2nd from top in div 1 .

Framlingham tournament

Hi Bloggers.

 

Many Sproughton players entered the Fram tournament this year and came away with great credit and a few trophies . George Brobbin entered the junior events and reached the 2nd round of the singles and had a great run in the mixed doubles going all the way to the semi-finals , then losing to the 2nd seeds . Colin Stephenson reached two finals and Joan Hassell reached one . John Tallent won the vets mixed final and lost in the final of the mens vets doubles . Going back to the juniors Toby LD won a round in the singles and finally in the adults Tamas won some rounds in the handicap tournaments also , altogether a fine Fram for all .
