Tennis players turn back time

More than 50 players took a step back in time on 18th May by donning their vintage white clothes, digging out their old wooden rackets and hitting the courts for an afternoon of tennis as it used to be.

The event, organised by coach Paul Evans, was a huge success with players creating classic vintage outfits which ranged from long white dresses and straw hats to famous figures from the past.

Players of all ages from 8 to 80 took part in the event for members and non-members which raised more than £200 for the club’s new pavilion campaign.

Team Hawaii are top bananas

Over 40 members of Buriton Tennis Club took part in their annual 'fancy dress' Davis Cup competition - dressed to represent teams from France, Hawaii, New Zealand and the USA.

The tournament took place over two full days in July and required almost 70 matches to decide the winners.  For much of the weekend there was very little between any of the teams but by the close Team Hawaii had emerged as worthy winners with a two point margin over France and New Zealand who tied for second place.
