The finals of the RTC 2022 Club Championships sponsored by Tim Barnard of Errea Sport were held on Sunday 18th September on a beautiful autumnal day, with sunshine but a slight chill in the air.
There were some very close and exciting matches taking place throughout the day which were much enjoyed by a good number of supporters and spectators who were also able to enjoy a splendid array of cakes and refreshments on offer in the Pavilion.
The tournament, organised by Head Coach Steve Barnett, had around 40 members competing in the various rounds over the Summer and the presentations were made by sponsor Tim Barnard.
