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]).

New members always welcome!
