27 July vs The Hurlingham Club - a great fixture, superb location plus we secured a very satisfying 7-2 win, reversing last year's defeat;
29 July vs The Wimbledon Club - this 4-pair fixture was abbreviated due to limited court times but we still managed to win 10 - 6 on sets.

Posted:

23 July 2025

It was with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Harald Messel on the 20th July 2025, aged 74 and an Honorary Member since 2003.
Harald was a great friend of our Club and instrumental in the ongoing success of our annual fixture against the Norwegian Seniors. He excelled on court as a wonderful tennis player and off court as a funny, positive and charismatic man. His kindness, humour and gentle spirit will not only be missed by the senior tennis community but also by those involved with our Norwegian matches over the years.
We send our deepest condolences to Harald's family and friends.

19 July 2025

Our men's team lost to the IC of GB at St. George's Hill in a close encounter. Although we lost the o45's matches 0-4 there was a strong and determined fightback at o60 level where we managed a 3-1 in our favour - getting better with age perhaps! Everyone enjoyed this grass court fixture especially the convivial post-match supper around the magnificent lake. Once again, thank you to St. George's for hosting us and looking after everyone so well.
