KIT - March 2024

The weather forecast had suggested that play might not have been possible this morning but luckily it was fine to play in - quite overcast but no rain.

Today's competitors/combatants were:

Nigel, Arthur, Ken  and David + Emma, Rosie, Sue and Kate


It was an excellent morning of tennis with all the round robin matches being closely contested.  The end result was a final between David & Emma and Arthur & Rosie.

With everyone fuelled by home made flapjack, the final was a real showpiece, with lots of long and amazing rallies.  It was a lovely match to watch.

I don't usually put in a photo of all of the finalists but here they all are at the end of the final - and in the light of the very recent royal controversy, I resisted the temptation to digitally alter the photograph to hide their exhaustion!  

This is indeed what they all looked like at the finish!




......... but in the end there can only be one winner and today it was

 Arthur and Rosie by 6 games to 4.


Congratulations to Arthur & Rosie - KIT winners for March 2024!
