A fifths team first travelling to Aberaeron (West Wales) to play in the late May heatwave on Sunday, 24th May. Despite a 6-0 loss overall against a very strong side, Liz and Jane managed to hold their nerves with some long rallies. Cath and Meg were able to steal back a few service games thanks to some great aces from Cath. After coming second, a mandatory ice cream by the seaside was needed! 🌞🍦

It was a Summer sizzler for the Men’s 3rds on Sunday evening as they faced Llantrisant 1sts on the home clay. Undefeated with an exceptionally strong first pair, Llantrisant were the team to beat but as the temperatures rose, so Windsor rose to the challenge. With experienced stalwarts Guy and Mogsy securing two crucial rubbers, Windsor battled to Victory. Final score 4-2. Team Payney & Jamie G, Darryl & Dan P, Guy & Mogsy.

A fantastic away day for the 1sts, who made the trip to Bridgend on Saturday count with an impressive 5-1 victory. Seb and Felix once again showed why they’re the pair to beat in this league, both delivering brilliant performances. Ross and Evan combined well to deliver two solid matches, while Max and Dan rounded off the day in style, picking up two more wins to seal a dominant team display. Well done everyone 🎾🌞👏🏻

The Over-60s team secured an impressive 4-0 win away to Bridgend on Tuesday, dropping just one set. Our fab four weren’t phased by having to play the 1st round indoors, under the ‘bubble’, or by having to switch to clay courts outdoors, for the 2nd round. Llongyfarchiadau mawr to our team of (L-R), Steve, Eileen, Teca and Alan.

Ladies 4 ths played away at Ibiza on Saturday. Well actually David Lloyd on a really hot and steamy Saturday with lively atmosphere, crowded pool and resident DJ blasting out the tunes.
