Blessed with sunshine after what were a few unseasonably cold weeks the Bradfield College Clay Courts provided a great location for this year’s ‘Give It Your Max’ Mixed Doubles Tennis Tournament organised by the Bradfield Society.
It was a friendly morning of short matches with everyone playing five games in a Round-Robin format against all pairs in the Group, followed by a Semi-Final and a Final. Pairs playing included Old Bradfieldians Sam Berry (E 06-11), Christian Ward (F 15-17) parents and pupils and even youngsters who play at the Bradfield College Tennis Centre.
The runners-up this year were Bradfieldian Stephen Bale (B 84-89) and his wife Suada joining us for the second time in the tournament and the winners were Noah, son of Anna Moss-Gibbons (I 95-97), and his partner Veronika. Both Noah and Veronika play regularly and are coached at the Bradfield College Tennis Centre and at only 12 years of age are very talented players.
Prizes at the end of the tournament were presented by Michael Stotesbury (E 56-60) who set up the charity in memory of his son Max.
