Sproughton juniors v Sproughton 2

Hi bloggers.

 

For the first time ever we had a match Sproughton 2 v Sproughton juniors played a week or two ago . It was a convincing win for the adults , but the juniors played well and I am sure learn't a lot .

Top pair for the adults was Ryland and Peter both making their debut , and the best performing junior pair was Henry and Toby . It finished Spr 2nd team 9 Spr juniors 0 , but two of the sets went to tie-breaks .

Junior friendly match

Hi bloggers .

 

The junior team had a winter friendly match handily inside the bubble at Stowmarket last Sunday . They won the match 14-2 and a good time was had by all , nice to play without any wind/rain/cold/ice problems of any sort , and good experience for all of the players . The photos should be on the website soon . The team was : Niall , Patrick , Alistair , Kiara , Olivia , George and Toby .

Junior match

Hi Bloggers

 

The juniors had a great win last week as they won 2-1 against Coddenham , George won his singles 6-4 6-0 and Toby lost his singles 5-7 1-6 so it was all up to the doubles pairing of Alistair and George , and they came up trumps winning 6-3 6-3 , now for a harder match v Southwold .

Tournaments

Hi Bloggers.

 

The autumn mixed and mens doubles have finished and we have some new champs and old . A great win for two brand new winners in the mens doubles were Tamas Farkas and George Brobbin , well done to Tamas and George beating John and Toby into 2nd place last week , and in the ladies tournie , again a win for Joan and Maureen , despite tough competition , good weather in that event .

Yesterday though the weather was not so kind and we managed to finish it off playing through a heavy shower late on , the winners being 1988 and 2007 winners Barbara Ramsden and John Tallent , runners up being young George again and his mother Sally Brobbin , a good effort from them .

The mens singles is getting on well , and is down to the semi-finals where John faces Steve Williams and Nicky plays Adrian the no 2 seed . Adrian had the match of the tournament so far beating George in a very tight match 2 sets to 1 after George had beaten his dad in the previous round .

Framlingham

Well bloggers . Framlingham is over and Sproughton has done well again in this great event . In age order ! Toby and Alistair were in the u14's and both played well , George was the junior star getting through to the plate semi-final and surviving to finals day , and Patrick was in the tough u18's section . In the oldies , John lost the singles final in the vets 45+ but won the mixed doubles  , and Colin got to the final of the 65+ mens singles . A good week was had by all , and good experience gained by the juniors .

 

 

Mid season winter report

Hi Bloggers .

 

It is December now and the snow is on the ground , but we have still played many matches in the floodlit league . The ladies team have done very well , winning 3 and only losing 1 in the floodlit div 1 , whilst the mens have done exactly the same , also in div 1 . The mixed team are still unbeaten in div 1 , winning 3 and drawing 3 so far , whilst the 2nd team have won 2 drawn 1 and lost 3 in div 2 . Unfortunately the juniors have had two matches postponed against Woodbridge , but we will try to get these matches played .

 

Have a great Christmas everyone .
