Tennis/Golf trophy (5th June)
Tennis is top hole.
On Saturday 5th July, Ely Tennis Club took the trophy at what is now set to be a popular annual event.
This is the third year that the neighbouring sporting clubs, Ely Tennis Club (part of the Ely Outdoor Sports Association) and On Par Golf Club, have battled out a handicapped golf/ tennis challenge.
Golf is played according to Texas scramble rules, the golf payers also giving the tennis an additional shot per hole, and the tennis is played as short sets with the golf players having a generous handicap. The finale was an interesting chipping and putting challenge which the tennis club won handsomely giving them the trophy once more.
Participants were of all ages and it was particularly good to see the keen competitiveness of the youngsters.
Play finished with Pimms and a BBQ on what had been a gloriously sunny and fun day.
