The Sun was out..The Weather fine.. And Spirits high!
The ladies of the British Embassy lessons group were graciously hosted for a "friendly" competition by the ladies drill classes of the Friends of the sacred Heart tennis circle. As many nervously waited for what was to be their first actual Tennis match ever,The Introductions were made and the first ball hit, then the butterflies lifted away to be replaced by much merriment and smiles all around

The Round Robin format promised that each doubles team would play three matches against players from the other side. The format worked famously as many of the matches were not decided until the very last game, and after twenty-four hard fought doubles matches the final score found a minniscule seven games separating the two teams. On top were the net-rushing ladies from the British Embassy but even so, Everybody walked away a winner from these games....with the promise of a return match next season.
This could be the start of something....Fun!!
