[alansd]

Is it just me or is this a week draw for a challenger??
Considering the wimbledon last year had Rice ellis in the mens singles, Honey and Foster Adcock and Middleton in the doubles and the mixed was honey and Agathangelou against Middleton and Connor!!

Good work majestic.

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

Alex Marritt did a double ladybird.

If you hadn't told me the event, I would have guessed it was a Sat.

Now we could get straight back onto our National Rankings discussion here... :rolleyes:

[alansd]

What you want to discuss??

Sarah Renton didn't have a bad tourney either.

Three finals and won two of them.

I last Umpired her in Belfast a few years ago I thought she had gone abroad.

[TheChosenOneReturns!]

a high entry is essential for tournaments to run. I've played a few poorly supported events and it is not inspiring. So called better players who can't get into the draws they want to should certainly play more events. This point once again raises the issue of contractual obligations from the elite players - they are rarely met and even more rarely enforced.

it was a good point made by mr sims
