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.
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.

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.
