Mens 1st Team Win Again

RPRLTC 4 – 0 David Lloyd Raynes Park III

Another good victory for the 1st team in a match that was a lot tougher than the scoreline suggests. Well done to Dishan, Steve, David and Sean.

Men's 2nds start the summer with a narrow win

May 8: Div W East: Grafton (4ths) 1 – 3 Raynes Park (2nds – Nev,Peter,Antony,Adam)

A tight dramatic match, which could have gone either way, was won by RP when Antony and Adam won the last match in a deciding Championship tiebreak. Earlier Nev and Peter won both their matches. Well done all.

Men's 1st team kick off summer 2011 in style

RPRLTC 4 - Downs 0

Congratulations to the mens 1st who started the summer season with a convincing 4-0 win over Downs (from the Cheam area).

Lets hope this is the first victory of many this season.

Winter Mixed Doubles Handicap 2011 Final Result

Sarah & Neville won 6-2, 6-2 vs Lucy & Steven

One black eye, a dodgy calf , broken strings and some good tennis were served up to several hardy spectators on Monday night. Despite Lucy’s warming up accident and Steve’s calf strain, they put up a spirited performance but in the end Sarah and Neville prevailed, the key moment being Sarah’s game-winning string-busting volley mid way through the second set!

Many thanks to Sarah for organising a successful tournament and to all it’s participants.

Mens's 2nd team finish on a high (20/2/11)

Banstead Downs 1 – RPRLTC 3   (Neville, Peter, Axel,Antony)

The Men’s 2nds finished the Winter Season on a high note with a excellent win against Banstead Downs.

This completes a successful campaign in the Surrey Division Y West with 4 wins out of 5.
