Ladies' Third Team Captain

How long have you been a member of SLTC? I have been a member on and off since I was 5 years old. I rejoined in 2018 - it was one of the first things I did when we moved back! 

What made you join SLTC? My Dad spent his life at the club so we did too when we were little (they had shale courts back then!).  I loved racing our bikes up and down over the speed bumps, playing in the field whilst Dad played tennis.  I rejoined again recently as it was the obvious choice - it's such a great club with the grass and it caters for everyone.  I think it's brilliant the juniors are so involved in the club, especially now Harrison has introduced a Club Champs tournament for them too.

What’s your favourite tournament to watch? (SLTC) Club Champs weekend, Wimbledon a close 2nd! 

What’s your favourite shot to play? Has to be the forehand but getting to love my back hand too. 

What's it like playing in an SLTC team?  It's just brilliant.  It's great fun playing with your friends in competitions. 

What's your go-to snack/drink during a match?  Jelly Babies! 

How is your team approaching this year’s competition? With full optimism and positivity - it's going to be a great season, especially with our spanking new 'Lawn Bar' and pizza oven at the ready for after match celebrations!
