27/4/2015: Hurst Mixed B vs Chiltern Mixed D
(captain's report)
Friday's Reading mixed match was the last of the season and we lost 0-9 to Chiltern. There were lots of close games and some "three enders" so despite the scoreline it was an enjoyable contest and everyone played well. Not all the scores are in, but Hurst should finish in 3rd place behind Chiltern and North Reading. Well played team.

A close shave and the result hung on the last game of the evening. Well played Liz, Doreen, Clare, Colin C, and Chris. There was a love-hate thing on court between Liz and Kev, and a lot of swearing - mostly from Liz. It was all good natured banter.

1/10/2014: Hurst Mens A vs Newbury B
The men played Newbury Mens B team tonight and won 8-1. Good games all round with Mark enjoying his partnership with John Hodges immensely and taking all three rubbers. Clyde and Col also taking three and Stephen and Kevin taking two. Good win lads and a lovely drink in the bar afterwards. Talking point was my lovely tweed jacket which went beautifully with my tank top and trekkies (captains opinion only).
