Mixed Team win at Gerrards Cross
Posted:
24 August 2026
The grass tennis courts at Gerrards Cross have been graced by some legends of the game, when the club used to be used for pre-Wimbledon practice. However, our team of 'legends' performed on the excellent artificial clay as the grass was being left to recover after a long, hot and dry period of weather. The match was played in great spirit, delivered some superb tennis and ended up as a 5 1/2 - 3 1/2 in favour of the Seniors' Club. Many thanks to everyone at GX for hosting us and providing a wonderful Aussie-inspired post-match BBQ.
