Maidenhead Lawn Tennis Club is delighted to congratulate Richard Downs, a long-standing member of MLTC and for many years a valued member of our coaching team, who has been selected to play for - and captain - the England Over 45s team.

Richard will travel to Glasgow over the May Bank Holiday weekend to compete in the Four Nations Championships, where England will take on Scotland, Wales and Ireland for the prestigious Four Nations trophy.

Richard is pictured in his England kit ahead of the tournament.

Richard said:

“I am delighted to represent England at this exciting tournament bringing the best of the Four Nations together. The England team have been training hard over the past few months and we look forward to testing ourselves in Glasgow.”

This is a fantastic achievement and a proud moment for Richard and for MLTC. We wish Richard and the England team every success in Glasgow.
