🏓 HAVE YOU TRIED PICKLEBALL? 🏓

Looking for a fun, friendly way to get active, improve your fitness, and meet new people?

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK, combining elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis into a game that's easy to learn and great fun to play.

With a smaller court and less running than tennis, Pickleball is a low-impact sport that's kinder to knees, hips, shoulders, and backs, making it ideal for adults of all ages and abilities. Whether you're completely new to racket sports or looking for a more social way to stay active, Pickleball could be for you!

The team battled through a rainy afternoon on the clay, with congratulations to Paul Hammond and John Kitchener, who won both their matches.

Commiserations to Hamish Galloway and Pete Simmonds, who narrowly lost the deciding rubber 6-2 7-6.

A great effort from the whole team in tough conditions. 👏🏽
