This is a social comp. Whilst the highest sections (better players) can be more serious about their tennis, all levels enjoy fun and convivial rivalry as we vie for a pennant flag for our club. The aim is exercise – winning is incidental.
Staying behind for a light supper** (hosted by home team) is encouraged but not compulsory
*No designated gender
**Can be no more than a cup of tea & bikkie or beer & chips
