OT REAL TENNIS 2022/23

The OTs have enjoyed a successful 2022/23 season of real tennis, with a win against The Queen’s Club in October by three rubbers to two followed by a draw at Petworth House in November at four rubbers all, although claiming the win on overall games won and lost by 63 to 58. In the Triangular tournament played at Queen’s in March, we beat both The Skinners’ Company and Real Tennis Hong Kong to regain the trophy which we had lost to the Skinners in the previous season. We also played in the Cattermull Cup, the handicap doubles tournament for alumni played at Middlesex University in April where we had good wins against Merchiston Castle and Bryanston before losing to Winchester II who progressed through to the final, only to lose to Winchester I.

Those who represented the OTs in 2022/23 included: Ed Hyde, George and Angus Nodder, Charles Fuente, David Mills, Will Chawner, Richard Dalzell, Alastair Hume and Sam Lowres.

We are always looking for new recruits to our squad and will be happy to organise introductory sessions at Queen’s for those who may not have played this wonderful game: please contact George Nodder on  george.nodder@gmail.com. We also operate a subsidy scheme for match fees and equipment for the under 30s, so do please get in touch.
