Clifton Mens April 2018 - Fixture
Army Mens vs Clifton Bristol Mens
08 April Friendly Fixture
The second match of the season saw the Army Team travel to the leafy suburb of Clifton, in Bristol. The club, which is over 100 years old, was the perfect location to continue the Army’s start to the season. Clifton Lawn Tennis Club put out a strong team, including our very own Army Ladies first team coach - James Pugh. However, the Army team was not prepared to give up easily and as a result even some of Clifton’s usual club members (Maj Fiona Welborn and Lt Alex Hadcock) switched their allegiance to ensure victory for the Army team. This was a very competitive fixture resulting in a hard fought Army win, 7-2 overall.
Many congratulations to all players that were selected for this fixture. The next men’s match will be held against Cambridge University at Aldershot Tennis Centre on 10 May 18.
