We focused on different aspects of the game such as, backhand, and forehand drive, topspin, serve and push.

Congratulations to all participating in the camp and we are looking forward to seeing everybody in the last two weeks of August for the summer training camp. Details to follow in the next few weeks.

We are very pleased to be a sponsor of  Nahom Asgedom, who played brilliantly in recent England Nationals. His best result was in the doubles tournament, where together with Toby Ellis they firstly won against Rohan Dani & Abraham Sellado. However, the notable result was the quarterfinals where they defeated Pitchford & Facey in 5^th set 12:10. Therefore they qualified to semi-finals of the whole tournament. Unfortunately, the couple Drinkhall & Walker were stronger placing Nahom and Toby on the 3^rd position in the tournament.

Congratulations to Nahom and we wish him a lot more successes in the future.

Charlotte struck Gold in the Womans doubles alongside Chloe Thomas Wu Zhang and another Gold in Mixed Doubles partnered with Callum Evans. It wasn't to be this year for Charlotte in the Womans Singles as she lost out to an in form Anna Hursey 4 - 1 in the Final.
After a recent Gold Medal at The World Veterans Championship in Oman, Mike Marsden carried on his run of form securing the Gold Medal in The O40s Singles as well as a Bronze Medal in the Men's Singles losing out to the eventual winner Callum Evans 4-2 in the Semis. Mike also grabbed the Silver in the Mixed Doubles partnered with Chloe, losing out to Charlotte and Callum.

Darius Knight was never seriously troubled as he secured first place, though he did drop the odd game, and trailed a fast-starting Shaquille Webb-Dixon in the final before coming back to win 3-1 (2-11, 11-4, 11-9, 11-8).

One more time Congratulations Darius Knight !!!
