Anyone know what the situation with Matt Smith is? He's playing here.

A nice article, the one about the County Cup. Good to see this kind of match celebrated.

Interesting report from The Times, glad I got mine in first but at least we came to similar conclusions.

By the way I notice that one name was censored in my post, for Tom Po**** read Tom Po-c-o c k

LOL I was trying to work out who Tom Pos-hit was (that being the word that usually gets censored if mis-hit is written without the hyphen) smile.gif

I paid a visit to sunny Cromer today where group 2 teams were competing.
Unlike yesterday at Hunstanton a few LTA officials were present, the referee was extremely helpful giving me an LTA 25 page brochure listing all the venues, teams and players both male and female and he even went to the trouble of identifying all today's players.

Strangely there were fewer current pros than in the group 3 event at Hunstanton, one player that stood out to me was Richard Wire of Essex who was very impressive but the most memorable thing of the entire event was the big serving of a delicious fresh raspberry cake! The ladies there certainly know their stuff. wink

I don't know what happened in the other groups but in group 4 both Middlesex and Norfolk gained promotion to group 3 for 2009, with Norfolk leaving it almost to the last ball of the week to decide.

The Group 1 was held in Hunstanton??? I was on holiday in Hunstanton at that point and dying to watch some tennis, couldn't even find somewhere to watch the Masters Events. Can't believe I didn't know it was on!

Well if you're there next year John, from the pier or whats left of it walk up the hill directly inland until you reach the coast road - cross over and straight in to the sports ground - 10 tennis grass courts on far side

Cheers mate, funny thing is I was reading a "what's on" guide and they mentioned a tennis tournament taking place, but it wasn't until late August I think. They described it as "the biggest tennis tournament in Britain" lol.

I would definitely have gone up if I'd heard about it. I think I will be there next year from 20th July-ish.

From the Net Post in the times -

A match between George Coupland and David Corrie of Hertfordshire and Mark Schofield and Ken Skupski of Lancashire had been stopped. Coupland, having thrown up a lob, shouted 'Get In' before the ball had landed. Schofield and Skupski said it was a 'hindrance' - the Herts team countered it was a call from Coupland telling Corrie to move in to the net.

How to settle that dispute? There was no ranting or raving, purely a five minute discussion at the end of which Perkins said he recognised both sides of the argument, that both teams had a case and told them to play a 'let'. Dispute over. Back to the tennis. Halcyon days.


Nice counter Tiny! clap.gif

I thought there was a thread for this in the general section, but doesn't seem to have been covered last year. Probably should be in there as it is both men and women.

I went down to Felixstowe today to watch a few group 6 ladies matches. Nice day in the sun by the sea !
