RTC CHAMPS 2024
This year's championships, sponsored by Errea Sport, were held over two days on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September. With entry numbers in many events increasing from the championships in 2023, it was great to see so many members at Ross Tennis Centre competing in their respective events.
Saturday 14th September was a fantastic still, sunny day with many turning up to watch some enthralling competitive singles play in both men's and ladies events. The ladies singles event had two new finalists in Anna Matthews and Emma Galer and our men's singles final was a rematch from the 2023 championships between Charlie Bowden and David Cartledge.
Sunday 15th September was a busy day of doubles, with very competitive draws in the men's, ladies and mixed doubles events. With many spectators attending to help create a fun and supportive atmosphere it was fantastic to see many enjoying the day.
Firstly, a big thank you to all that took part in all events to ensure that the competition was well attended and for all those who came to watch. Thanks also go to Tricia's neighbour for her kind donation of cakes for the event.
Finally, a huge thank you to Tim Barnard and Errea Sport who have sponsored the Championships for another year!
