A wonderful day of celebration of the sport and the tennis talent that we have
at Upton.
The Junior matches commenced at 10.30 and continued all day with all ages competing from 5-17 years. Some amazing matches played very enthusiastically and in a sportsmanlike fashion.
Well done all of you!
At 10.30 our Captain, Win Boston, held a Drinks Reception which was very well-attended and a good start to a very full day of tennis.
At 11am the Senior Matches commenced followed by Mini Tennis Finals and continued until after 6pm. The results show that there were some very closely fought matches which held everyone's attention
An Excellent Lunch of Salmon, cold meats, new potatoes and salad, followed by Pavlova and Strawberries and Cream was served from 12.30 and the Bar opened!
It was estimated that over 100 people attended and the many non-playing siblings (and grandparents!) were very well-behaved.
As usual Afternoon Tea was served at 4.30 with a huge range of homemade fare, made and served by members of the committee.
There was still a very full clubhouse for the Presentation Ceremony - ( see the Photo Gallery for photographs shortly)
