The club held it's annual Newhouse Cup Whistle Tournament on Sunday, once again adopting the American format of random mixed doubles partners, which are changed after each round.

Eight ladies and eight men enjoyed a sunny afternoon of 4x20 minute 'sets' to attempt to win as many games as possible during each of the 4 rounds. The man and lady with the most games won at the end would be declared the joint winners and share the trophy.

After some spirited and fun tennis, congratulations to Steve (Leo) Lyons and Luana Wild who led each of their sections to not only win, but amazingly retained the trophy as they also won their sections in 2024. Clearly a handicap system needs to be considered :)

Many thanks to Denise Essex, for her organisation and drive to ensure fun tournaments such as this remain an important part of our annual calender.
