PSOBLTA v Roehampton Club
Won 4-0
Fine win for the PSOBLTA against a strong Roehampton Club team
Storm clouds gathering are never a good sign, especially so in the grass court tennis season and even more so when the venue is the magnificent Roehampton Club in South London. So on a gorgeous summer’s day and just 30 minutes before play, the heaven’s opened to force this fabulous fixture off the grass and onto the artificial clay courts where we enjoyed bright sunshine for the next 3 hours – typical UK weather!
In a hard fought match and with Christian Throm-Jones making his debut, the PSOBLTA prevailed 4-0 winners against a strong and vastly experienced Roehampton team.
