TEAMS
Congratulations to our Men and Women Teams who had their first matches this week-end.
Lucy, our Director of Tennis, Margaux, Alice & Sophie beat Kenton 10-2. It was a strong result with it being everyone’s first game in the National League for Highgate. A special shout out to Sophie who managed 6 sets on a sunny Sunday afternoon! Our next match will be on Sunday 2nd May versus Oakleigh Park.
Our Men’s Team composed of Antonio, David, Sasha, Roy and Remi narrowly lost on Sunday after a sudden death shoot out in their national match away against Vicar Moors.
Our Teams love representing the Club and always welcome your support!
