Well better late than never, and just before our next tournament later this month, here’s a brief summary of the events of Los Elefantes Tournament on 1st May 2022, under the blue Cabrera Skies.
Introducing the Teams!
The Red Team
The Green Team
So the results were as follows:
The Red Team :
No 1 Lady & Gent : Chantal & Marty
No 2 Lady & Gent : David M & Sjan
The Green Team :
No 1 Lady & Gent : Mike & Elena
No 2 Lady & Gent : David R & Lynda
So after a swift juggle by the President, the Semi Finals Draw looked like this….
Each semi-final consisted of 1 set, with sudden death on deuces, with volunteers taking turns as the lines judges!
But first we had the plate, and you will have to scroll down to see who was the lucky individual to take home that trophy!
Everyone gave it their all in both matches, but someone always has to lose, and we saw the Middletons, playing together (beating Chantal & Mike) and Frank & Sjan (beating Marty & Elena) through to the finals.
And at last, the Final…… so without further ado I introduce ……
The Finalists
Frank & Sjan were determined to take the Trophy they had won last year home again, and with their mind set on that goal, the Middletons weren’t sure what hit them. They put up a valiant effort but the trophy has gone back to the Van Kessel´s home for a second year running!
The Valiant Runners Ups & our wonderful hosts, David & Lynda
And your Winners of Los Elefantes Trophy 2022 are.....
Frank & Sjan
And lets not forget the Plate…….
And that´ll be Fran taking it away with her!
As ever, a lot of fun was had by all on and off the Court, and on behalf of the Club, we would like to thank the Middletons for hosting the lunch and After Tournament Party (again), the Committee for organising it, and of course the participants themselves, without which this day or the lunch would not happen!
Until the Next Time!
