Great fun at the 2nd Annual Old Boys' fixture yesterday. There was some great realers on show, the students showcasing pace and agility, the gents rolling back the years with some majestic exhibition tennis. Ultimately it was the students who managed to edge the fixture for a 2nd straight year, reaffirming their bandit status and consigning the battle hardened alumni to defeat once again.

Here are some snaps of a few of our competitors, a cheery bunch! Thanks to all who took part and roll on next year.

We look forward to hosting Durham and St Andrews for NURTC's first ever triangular fixture this Friday. Hopefully we are able to come away with another victory.

Good evening all,

I am delighted to announce Henry Beckwith as the winner of the 2016 Winter Cup.

Henry put in some immense displays on Saturday, claiming the tournament convincingly 8/2 in the final. A notable mention must go to fellow finalist Lukas Schneider, who finished runner-up for the second year in a row.

A massive thanks to all who played on Saturday, and also to those who came down to support the players - much appreciated!

That's it for NURTC in 2016, and we wish you all a merry Christmas and happy new year. We look forward to 2017 and all it will bring to Real Tennis up in the Dene.

See you all soon x
