π Player Spotlight: Paul Wheatcroft π
One of the longest-standing members of Hinckley Town Pickleball Club, Paul has been part of the journey from the early days - and what a player he continues to be πͺπΎ
Having overcome injury and become something of a miracle of modern science, Paulβs energy, determination and competitive spirit are as strong as ever. Often spotted arriving at club sessions on his bicycle π΄ββοΈ, he brings the same relentless work ethic and enthusiasm onto the pickleball court every single week.
Tricky, energetic and always great fun to play with, Paul is a huge character within the club and a fantastic competitor. He has proudly represented HTPC in matches and continues to be a real credit to the club both on and off court π
And if heβs not playing pickleball? Youβll probably find him out on the rugby pitch too π
Weβre incredibly proud to have Paul as part of HTPC - thank you for everything you bring to the club. What a player π

Stamford match report.
HTPC took 16 players to Stamford on Saturday for a rematch against Stamford Pickleball. The team had a lovely mix of experience and many playing their first competitive matches.
The match was as close as expected, with just a couple of points between both sides. Stamford just coming out on top and lifting the trophy. Amazing effort from our players, some highlights including Karen and Rachel playing their first ever matches, and Gail and Malc getting their first win together!
Super proud as ever of HTPC members getting out and about and enjoying their pickleball. Well done team!!
