Today saw the 58th time we have played for the little trophy and today's line up was:
Nigel, Andy, Ken, Arthur + Gill, Sue, Emma and Kate
It didn't start well though with Kate having to survive a full blooded volley into the bridge of her nose - and that was just during the warm up! Thankfully she was able to play on and the resulting round robin matches were all very close - with perhaps the emphasis today being more on the energy and enthusiam level of the participants, rather than the demonstration of consistent tennis skills!
The one set final was then played out between:
Emma & Arthur v Gill & Ken
It was yet another close match with numerous very long rallies so, when the scores eventually got to 6-6 and we were all pretty tired and running very late, we decided to just share the trophy. Another first for the KIT trophy!
So, instead of the usual photo of the winners, here are the 4 players from the final at the end of the match - all exhibiting various degrees of exhaustion!
