Raynes Park Residents' Lawn Tennis Club - September 2014
We had a gorgeous sunny day for our Finals Day on the 19th July and enjoyed several hard fought matches. In the Ladies’ Singles Nicky beat Saidhanya in a tie break and in the Men’s Nick beat Neville. In the Ladies’ Doubles Saidhanya and Liz beat Louise and Martine; in the Men’s Nick and Nigel beat Neville and Keith, and in the Mixed Saidhanya and Keith beat Nicky and Graham. In the Junior event Ruben and Noe beat Elizabeth and Adithijan. The day concluded with a successful barbecue.
We have said goodbye to our long-standing coach Eddie Mahmud who served the club loyally for over 10 years. The great news is that he is being succeeded by a talented dynamic young coach, Josh Harvey, a county player for Kent and qualified coach, who is going to help expand our coaching programme for juniors and adults. He has experience of the tennis outreach programme into schools which we have started at Hatfeild and intend to spread more widely within the local area.
