National Triples

Yesterday our club hosted a successful National Triples in very hot conditions. Twelve club members participated in club and mixed teams and congratulations must go to Tony Smith for winning the title with team members Jean-Yves Robic (Penarth PC) and Kon Tomczyk (Caerleon RFC PC). This is Tony’s second Welsh title this year as he has already won the WPA Doubles, a fantastic achievement.

A special mention should go to the Milton family who played under the avuncular guidance of Mike Jones. This was the first time Heather, Paul and Liam had played together in a national competition and, although they failed to reach the knock-outs, did themselves and the club proud.

Thanks to Judith for providing the obligatory bacon rolls and the much-needed bottles of water and to William for both helping Judith and for selling the raffle tickets. The food and raffle raised over £80 for the club, which neatly covers the cost of our new pop-up gazebo.
