There were some hard-fought matches and brilliant tennis at GTC Winter Finals Day, with members turning out in force to support on a wonderfully sunny day.

In the Ladies Singles, Nikki looked like she would win the trophy after taking the first set 6-2 with a flawless display. However, Pip, who has won for the last 5 years in a row and 11 times in total, wasn’t going to give up her crown without a fight. Sure enough, she took the next two sets in a close match to the end.

Some great tennis in the Mens Singles too, with Ian serving at 4-3 up in the first set, but Rhodri breaking back and ending with a convincing win.

In the Ladies Doubles, Roubina and Marina took sweet revenge on Bridget and Tamlyn who beat them in last Summer’s Ladies Vets Doubles and, in the Mens Doubles, Ian and Graham took the title for the 3rd time in a row, beating Vatche & Henrik.

Other worthy winners on the day were Marian and Matthew in the Mixed Doubles Plate, Katy and Alison in the Ladies Doubles Plate, and Adam and Peter in the Mens Doubles Plate. GTC members were also treated to a great ladder match between Gerry (winner of the Men Singles Plate) and Lauren (Invitation Singles Winner) which Gerry won 6-4, 6-2.

Next up: GTC Open Day on Sunday, 24 April – come and meet our members, try some social play on our six fantastic all-weather courts, and give table tennis, yoga and pilates a go while you’re here!

Gunnersbury Triangle Club Ladies have triumphed in the Middlesex Winter Cup, beating Finchley Manor (5-3) in the final of the Division 2 competition.

Throughout the Winter, our team played in all weathers against tough opposition to reach last Sunday’s final. At last, there was a blue sky and gentle breeze as the GTC team showed off their best tennis to a supportive home crowd.

Big congratulations to all those who played for GTC in Sunday’s final (Pip, Nikki, Katya, Cat, Roubina and Bridget) and to those who played in earlier rounds and contributed so much to the team’s success (Julie, Lydia, Polly and Rikke).

As the new season approaches, come and have a look at our fantastic facilities for team and social play. We have six beautifully maintained all-weather, artificial grass tennis courts, four with floodlights, as well as Table Tennis, Snooker, Karate and other activities.

This year’s Summer Championship finalists played some of the most keenly contested matches ever seen on a finals day at Gunnersbury Triangle Club. With matches going to three sets and plenty of tie breaks, members were treated to a fantastic day of tennis. A huge thank you goes to our sponsor, Winkworth, who funded all the prizes.

Many of the Club’s biggest hitters were in action, and it was good to see new members among the finalists as well as some very talented junior members. Tennis at GTC clearly has a fantastic future.

It’s a great time to join our friendly Club as the cost of tennis membership fell to 40% of full-year subscriptions on October 1. That means adult membership lasting until the end of March 2022 costs just £160, and a family package is £290. You can expect a warm welcome!

Four of Gunnersbury Triangle Club’s tennis teams have been promoted this season. After some fantastic matches against tough competition, the Mens 1st Team and the Ladies 1st, 3rd and 4th Teams have all been promoted in the Middlesex League. Our other two Mens and two Ladies teams also played some great matches and enjoyed a successful season.

There are plenty of opportunities for social as well as team tennis for players of all ages and experience at Gunnersbury Triangle Club, with excellent support from our LTA approved coaches. So check out our competitively priced membership options and come and take a look at our great facilities.

Sixteen pairs of Gunnersbury Triangle Club players battled their way through at least four rounds of FAST4Tennis on Sunday, with worthy winners Joy and Cathal lifting the Paul Busfield Memorial Cup at the end of a hectic afternoon.

The rapid format (first to 4 games, 5-point tie-breaker at 4 all) was new to some players, and remembering to play service lets even if balls dribbled over the net was quite a challenge.

Head coach, Debbie, ensured that pairs were well balanced for skills, experience and sense of humour, so there were plenty of close matches. Everyone agreed that Paul Busfield – an active member and volunteer at GTC – would have been delighted with the format and the results.

Florence and Sue were finalists for the Cup, presented by Paul’s sister, Lynn. The consolation event was won by Wiebke and Trevor, with Isabel and Jo the other consolation finalists.

The Paul Busfield Cup is one of many competitive but fun events run at GTC during the year. Whether you’re looking for team tennis or social play, new members of all ages and experience are always welcome at one of West London’s friendliest tennis clubs.

The start of the Summer Championships, the return of the Family Challenge Event, a new Tennis Xpress course and plenty of long days for social and team tennis. There’s a great line-up at GTC in June, and some of the Club’s finest players are in action on the much-delayed Winter Finals Day.

Karate, Snooker and Table Tennis are back on track, and Dance, Pilates and Aikido classes are continuing. The Bar is open Mon-Thurs 6.30pm – 10pm, Fri 5pm – 10pm and Sat/Sun 12 – 7.30pm, and the Tudor Room and Bowls Green are already proving popular for parties and celebrations (email: [email protected]).
