April 3rd 2017 winners + Vet's shared lunch

This KIT was planned to coincide with the end of the winter Vet's season and to say "thank you" to Sue Hubbard for being the captain and organising us all so well. Unfortunately Keith couldn't make it but Frank stepped in as a last minute replacement.  
The players on the day were:
John, Don, Frank, Ken, Jan, Gill, Hilary + Sue herself.
It was a beautiful sunny morning and it ended up with a final contested between John & Gill and Ken & Jan, which John & Gill won by 6-2..

Winners - Gill & John

Afterwards we all stayed on, in true Vet's style, for a shared lunch.  It was lovely that Alison, Tim and John Hubbard were also able to join us for the lunch.  Congratulations to Hilary, who was awarded a prize for having won the highest percentage of her matches throughout the season!
Here is a selection of photos from the lunch we had afterwards.

Next KIT + shared lunch

The next KIT will be on Mon 3rd April from 9:30 and will feature:

John Hayman, Don, Keith AO, Ken + Jan, Gill, Hilary and Sue H

All 8 participants are from Sue's Vet's squad.  The plan is to stay after the competition to enjoy a shared lunch together to celebrate the completion of our winter season and to say thank you to Sue for helping to make it such an enjoyable experience, regardless of where we will have finished in the league.

Emergency repairs

Our monthly bike ride today took us to Alresford for lunch at The Globe - the food, the company and even the weather were excellent.
En route we discovered that John is more than just a good tennis player!

The next KIT

The March KIT will happen at the end of February!

Monday 27th Feb at the slightly later time of 9:45am.

The players this time are:

John Hayman, Don, Ken & Keith + Jan, Gill, Kate & Rosie

February 7th 2017 winners

Bright sunshine this morning - too bright from one side of the court, making it difficult to see the ball sometimes!
Many thanks to the 3 newcomers  - Geoff, Steve and Jacinta (who ended up as the lady with the most points).
The final was contested between Tim & Jacinta and Ken & Angela.
The scoreline in the final  did not do justice to how close the games all were - the first 5 games all went to long deuces!
In the end though, Ken & Angela won 6-0.

Angela & Ken

February KIT

As the snow falls outside it is time to publish the date of the next KIT!

It will be on Tuesday 7th February at 9:15 - a slightly earlier start, so hopefully there won't be a frost the night before.

The players this time will be Tim G, Geoff, Steve and Ken + Gill, Alison, Jacinta and Angela.
Thanks to Geoff & Jacinta for stepping in to cover for late changes.

January 9th 2017

Happy New Year!

The weather intervened this morning to curtail the KIT.  There was only time for the round robin matches to be completed before rain stopped us playing.
John finished with the top score of all the men and Gill was the top lady.
The final would have been a contest between:

John & Hilary v Ken & Gill 

There was no time to reschedule the final before the next KIT (on Tuesday 7th Feb) so we decided to count up the individual scores.
John & Hilary had 29 points and Ken & Gill had 28 points - so John & Hilary are the winners this time.  Sorry there isn't a photo!
