LEAGUE POSITIONS
Peterborough League.
Fixtures, results and tables can be viewed on www.padtc.co.uk
The Club is doing well in this league. It currently has five teams in the top thirteen.
In Division 1 the A team, captained by Nick Crowson, is equal top on points with Esporta A, ahead
on rubbers, but has lost one match to Esporta.
Also in Division 1, the B team, led by Shay Ginat, is a comfortable fourth.
Propping up division 1 is the C team, captained by Kim Pallister, which has found the going tough..
Having said that, we think that this is the first time ever that one club has had three teams in the
Division 1.
In Division 2 the E team, led by Ian Moss, is in third position, and the D team, captained by Kevin
Tassel, is fifth. Each division has eight teams.
We have no team in Division 3, and our F team is fifth in Division 4.
Hunts & Peterborough League.
Fixtures, results & tables can be viewed on www.hptennis.org.uk
So far only the mixed league has been functioning. We have had a good season. The men’s and
ladies’ leagues commence in July.
In division 1 the Mixed A, captained by Mark Pallister, is third. The Mixed B, led by Warren Thomas,
has topped division 2 and will be promoted to division 1 next season. The Mixed C, captained by Neville
Burnett, leads division 4, and will be promoted to division 3 next year.
We would welcome reports from the various team captains for inclusion in future e-bulletins.
Our Under 14 boys did very well in the Lincolnshire Aegon competition.
Stamford Tennis Club’s Under 14 boys are runners up in the Lincolnshire County competition in the
Aegon Team Tennis series. Beating three Lincolnshire teams on their way to the final - Boston and
Grantham in the Round Robin Leagues and then Tennis Buddies from Woodall Spa in the semi final,
they faced Lincoln team Eastgate in the final.
The Final was played at Eastgate on May 29th 2010:
Despite constant drizzle, Edward Henley and William Bourne won their singles matches - Bourne
in straight sets and Henley battling out a tie break to keep Stamford in the frame. Felix Beech and
Oliver Huxley faced Eastgate’s number 1 and 2 players. They both fought tough matches but were
defeated.
At the end of the doubles rounds the teams were equal on points which forced a play-off. Beech and
Bourne fought to the bitter end with some winning shots, but they could not overpower Eastgate’s first
pair and narrowly lost by three points in a match tie break.
All four boys are coached by R2R Tennis. “The boys all put in great performances at each stage of this
competition.” said the club’s Performance Coach Ralph Clarke. “They faced some stiff competition in
the final and fought hard but were narrowly pipped at the post. But to get to this stage and take away
the runner-up title is a great achievement for Stamford Tennis Club.”
Team photo is attached, from the left: Edward, Will, Felix and Oliver. And the boys in the photo are,
from left to right, Edward Henley, Will Bourne, Felix Beech and Oliver Huxley.
Anyone for CRICKET?
We have arranged two “friendly” games against Barnack Cricket Club. First match will be on Friday
23rd July and the return game on Friday 20th August. Matches will start at approximately 6.15, kit
provided and Beer and Bar-B-Q will be available. If you would like to be “considered for selection”
please contact Ralph Ticehurst on Stamford 755412 who will be the chief and only selector (red wine
preferred!) Players and spectators welcome.
SANTA RUN
Recently Simon Rigby, Alisdair Orr and Alan Gray attended a presentation evening organised by the
Rotary Club of Stamford Burghley when Alan presented a cheque for £750 to Rutland Sailability. Ten of
us from Stamford Tennis Club ran/walked/staggered round Burghley Park in December and
sponsorship money raised by us came to over £1000. We gave £250 to Polio Plus and £750 to Rutland
Sailability.
We have since received a letter from Rutland Sailability thanking Stamford Tennis Club for our efforts
and the donation. They have also given us a framed picture of RS which Simon has located in the
Clubhouse.
