Tennis with a twist

Even some heavy showers of rain couldn't detract from the enthusiasm of forty members of Buriton Tennis Club as they enjoyed two days of non-stop tennis.

Over the Wimbledon Tennis Finals weekend, whilst Andy Murray was battling against Roger Federer, the club hosted its annual Davis Cup competition.

Five teams, representing a wide range of international countries (with an associated movie theme twist), played over 650 games of tennis supported by family and friends.

Budgie stops play in Tennis Finals

Buriton Tennis Club's annual Tournament Finals had an added attraction this year.

Apart from one shower of rain, weather conditions were perfect for tennis over the weekend of September 3rd and 4th – but temperatures were hardly tropical.

Nevertheless one of the stars of the event was a yellow budgerigar which landed on the net and court-fencing during the men’s doubles final on the Saturday morning.
