South East Challenge
series
continues in balmy Berkhamsted
Adam Fuller reports
On the hottest day of the English year so far players
ascended on Berkhamsted to do battle. There were a few long
matches today and at times it looked like racketball but the
club members loved every minute of it.
The crowd came out in force to watch their local interest as
‘master took on pupil’ with Adam Fuller and Harry
Faulkner meeting in the first round. Lucky for Adam, he
managed to close out each game but he was pushed every step
on the way.
Dan Hockborn was involved in a few tough matches
today managing beat Nick Mulvey first but coming
unstuck to top seed Mike Harris.
Angus Gillams was hoping push Richie Fallows
but always looked uncomfortable on court today much to his
disappointment.
Richie went on to play Ollie Holland who looks in
good form and will be looking forward to his semi final
encounter with Mike Harris tomorrow.
Jamie Matthews completes the semi final line up
against Berkhamsted's own Adam Fuller.
As for the ladies matches there were comfortable wins for
Katie Smith and Anna Kimberley. Emily Heyes
and Gina Kennedy were pushed a little harder but are
safely through.
