We kicked off with the 20s Category Tournament final in bright sunlight (streaming through the windows, I should add) and for just a moment an upset seemed possible as Charlie edged out to a 5-3 lead. But Patrick found another gear (and one particular backhand cross court that had us all gasping in the Dedans) and took the match 8-5.

While we were looking for the (a?) cup for a (the?) presentation, the 60s finalists, Kate and Smuts wasted no time in going toe to toe with, well, the banter. Clearly no quarter was given or asked at the net..

The actual match was no disappointment either as Kate followed up her win at the other place in the Varsity 2nds with an 8-7 victory.

The 70s Final found a couple of our members at different ends of the age/experience spectrum. But experience proved the winner as John found a place on the Honours board thanks to a 8-3 win over the ever enthusiastic Alex.
