Wickwoods Annual Tennis Tournament Final was held on the 21st July under bright blue skies and glorious sunshine. Members watched the Clubs top players battling it out to gain the title of Wickwoods champion 2013.
Tournament sponsor Steve Woodward of Keymer Double Glazing handed out jugs of Pimms to spectators whilst the ever vocal Mr Pelling helped raise £150 for charity.
This year’s tournament had the highest entry to date and whilst this caused a few issues generally everyone agreed that the tournament was the best to date and we hope to build on this going forward.
Matches went on until early evening so it was a little late in the day and the free Pimms courtesy of Steve had started to take effect so the formal prize presentation will be held on Sunday the 25th of August at 2pm with cups and trophies presented by Steve Woodward of Keymer Double Glazing.
Our summer bar-be-cue will be served from 12 and there will be live music during the afternoon so come and join us on the 25th to congratulate the tournament winners and runners up. All members tennis or otherwise are most welcome
Congratulations to all those who took part and especially to those that made it to the finals.
