<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">The Oratory Real Tennis Club hosted their annual Club Handicap Singles Championship sponsored for the first time by Sotheby’s International Realty. The competition consisted of 10 group stages over two days played on both The Oratory School court and The Hardwick court. There were a lot of very close matches due to the handicap system.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Sunday morning was the start of the knock out stages. There was some top tennis played, with some players having to give away massive handicaps. David Lambert had the toughest handicaps, playing 3 matches giving away large differences. He made it to the Semi Finals before being defeated by Melvyn Keen 3/6. In the second Semi Final, Candida Nicholls played Michael Seymour off a large handicap. Michael played very precise tennis and used great control to secure his place in the Final, he won 6/3. The Final was always going to be tough for Michael as he was again giving away points with a tough handicap; However, he had already proved he could win on such handicaps but everyone was ready for a closely fought Final. Michael started very strongly but Melvyn was playing very well and managed to secure the necessary points when needed. Melvyn won 6/4.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Oratory hosted the Bridgeman Cup this year. The Bridgeman Cup is a national tournament which attracts the best over 50’s in the Country. We had 14 players enter this year, some traveling from as far as <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Newcastle</st1:place></st1:city>. There were 2 group stages from which the top 2 players from each group qualified to the Quarter Finals. The Quarter Finals saw the top 4 seeded players won in straight sets. In the 1<sup>st</sup> semi final John Prenn played the perfect game and defeated William Maltby 6/2 6/1. The 2<sup>nd</sup> semi final David Watson took on Mark Drysdale. David played superbly and defeated Mark 6/2 6/3. John had to be on top form to beat David as he was on top form, unfortunately John didn’t have it in him and David won the final 6/3 6/2 and regained the Bridgeman Cup for a 2<sup>nd</sup> year. </div>

Last weekend The Oratory Real Tennis Club held their yearly Club Handicap Doubles Championship sponsored by Sotheby’s International Reality. There was a great turn out with 22 pairs battling it out over 3 days. On the Friday and Saturday the pairs played in the round robin stages with the top 2 pairs from each group progressing through to the knock out stage on the Sunday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
With handicap matches there was always going to be lots of close matches. The first semi final saw Chris Davies & Sam Peates beat <st1:personname w:st="on">Stephen Anidjah</st1:personname> & Duncan Crerar 6/4 in a closely fort battle. In the second semi final Andrew Bucknell & Phil Booth played the perfect handicap game and beat Eric Walker and Michael Seymour 6/1.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The final was a little one sided after Andy Bucknell picked up an injury in the semi final. This meant Phil Booth was in theory playing singles against 2 players who were on top form. Chris Davis and Sam Peates played the right sort of game and ended up winning the final 6/2. Congratulations to Chris and Sam!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The Irish duo started very slowly going 0/3 down but then came firing back to win the set 6/3 and the second set 6/4. David Lowry stayed on court to play Calum Maclean in singles. Calum had a slow start but then fought back all the way to the 3<sup>rd</sup> set unfortunately losing out in the final stages - 1/6 6/5 4/6. Next up Phil Booth (oratory) played Mike Bolton. Again a slow start for Oratory losing the 1<sup>st</sup> set 1/6 but then pulling it back to win the match 1/6 6/3 6/5. Not one to buck the trend Matthew Prater playing for Oratory lost the first set 1/6 to Paul Brennan and then began his come back taking the second set 6/4. Both players played very well in the third set but it was Paul who came out on top winning the match 6/1 4/6 6/4. With Oratory 2-3 down the pressure was on Sam Peates to claim a draw for Oratory and he didn’t disappoint, beating Jack Woods 6/5 6/3. Overall a draw for the Oratory team 3 /3.</span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Oratory Real Tennis club held its first ladies championship over the weekend of 21<sup>st</sup> and 22<sup>nd</sup> April. The event was run over the two days, with singles games played on the Saturday and Sunday morning following on with doubles later on Sunday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">With a great turn out of ladies the entire Saturday was filled with group games to determine who went through to the Sunday morning eliminator rounds. 4 players progressed and Sunday morning started with the first of the semi finals. Candida Nicholls played Katy Weston and having played brilliantly on the Saturday couldn’t quite get her game together allowing Katy to take a 6/4 win. Next saw the biggest handicap difference with Pam Tomalin playing our new comer Nic McChlery. Nic improved considerably over the weekend however Pam’s pure determination helped her pull through to a 6/3 win. This meant Pam to face Katy in the final. It was a great game and Katy started very well however once again Pam really knuckled down and took the victory 6/4.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Following straight on was the doubles. With everyone paired up it meant the group stages were over quickly and everyone advance through to the playoffs. The two 3<sup>rd</sup> placed pairs played each other before the semi finals started. Sarah Whittaker and Sarah Brownlee played Katy Weston and Michelle Bucknell. With the Sarah’s both ‘on fire’ and hitting hard they took the win 5/2. Next up was Carrie Hart and Fiona Fountain to play Geri Brooksbank and Nic McChlery. Again a big handicap that required Carrie and Fiona to play very disciplined tennis. They managed to hold their nerve and won 5/4. They advanced to the final to pay Sarah Whittaker and Sarah Brownlee. Earlier in the day these two had played each other and the Sarah’s took the win 5/0 however Carrie and Fiona had found there form and although a strong fight was put up by the Sarah’s Carrie and Fiona won 5/3. A very enjoyable day was had by all and our first Ladies Singles and Doubles Champions were crowned. </span></div>

With 17 teams playing between the two courts of Oratory and Hardwick House a busy day of tennis lay ahead. Players at both courts enjoyed 4 sets with the highest scoring pair from each court joining together late afternoon for the final at Oratory. The two schools making it through to the final were Westbourne 1<sup>st</sup> pair and Windlesham 3<sup>rd</sup> pair. The two were very closely matched with Westbourne winning the set 5/3. A big thank you to Mick Dean (tournament organiser) and all the schools and parents for their time spent organising and travelling which made it such a great event.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

<span style="color: black;">The Oratory hosted their yearly Club Handicap Singles Championship with group stages on Friday and Saturday. There were a lot of very close matches due to the handicap system working so well. The handicap is in place to give the tournament a level playing field no matter what your playing ability is.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">Sunday morning was the start of the knock out stages. There was some top tennis played, some players having to give away massive handicaps. The 1<sup>st</sup> semi final saw Christian Whittaker (h/c 29) take on a new member Melvyn Keen (h/c 69) The massive handicap meant Christian was playing more a mental game than a physical game but he won 6/3. In the 2<sup>nd</sup> semi final Stuart Baxter played Michael Seymour off level. This was always going to be close. Stuart went 5/3 up. Michael saved 4 match points but Stuart kept his composer and won the game on the 5/5 - 40/40 point.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">The Final was between Christian and Stuart. Christian had to give away a small handicap but managed to take an early 2/0 lead. Stuart played the better tennis in the final forcing Christian into a few errors. Stuart went on to take the set and the Championship 6/3. Congratulations to Stuart who is now Club Handicap Singles Champion.</span></div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Last weekend saw The Oratory Real Tennis Club held their annual Parent and Offspring Tournament. There was a brilliant turn out this year with 16 pairs entering. There were four round robin groups played over two days with the semi finals and final on the Saturday. The group stages saw some extremely close matches with a lot of them going down to the wire. The final was between Luke & Fiona Redman versus Gordon & Gus Robertson. Both pairs had played some superb tennis throughout the tournament but Gordon & Gus had the upper hand in the final and took the title 6/2. Well done to Gordon and Gus.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The MCC are always a good travelling side, this year they bought seven players to The Oratory for what looked like a very evenly match day. The 1<sup>st</sup> Match was between Candida Nicholls & Nigel a Brassard. Candida took an early lead of 5/3,but Nigel fort back to take the 1<sup>st</sup> set 6/5. Candida then took control of the match and ended up winning the next two sets and the match. The final score was 5/6<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>6/4 6/3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next up was Peter Buckley and Richard Boughton who took on MCC’s Patrick Sumner & Oliver Wise There was some big hitting mixed with some superb cut shots. Both teams took control at different part of the match, but it ended up with MCC coming out on top winning 6/4 6/2. The score line doesn’t reflect the standard of play from The Oratory pairing.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That made the score line one apiece. Pete Harding stepped on court next facing a very experienced Ronald Paterson from MCC. Ronald seemed to read the game so well making it look easy. Pete played well in each game but just couldn’t win the vital points. The very composed Ronald took control in the 2<sup>nd</sup> set and won 6/1 6/1.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was all down to the final pairing of David Fox & Mike Box to save the match, they took on Giles Pemberton and David Christie. David & Mike got off to the dream start winning the 1<sup>st</sup> set 6/3. They were playing some excellent tennis and controlling the match, this bought them to a 5/3 lead in the 2<sup>nd</sup> set. At this point Giles & David started to relax and improved with every shot. They managed to pull it back and take the 2<sup>nd</sup> set 6/5. This gave the MCC pairing a massive boost and continued to play well in the 3<sup>rd</sup> set to take the set and the match 3/6 6/5 6/2</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a well attended day from both team and everyone really enjoyed the day. </span></span></div><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">MCC won overall 3-1.

We had nine entrees on the day; they were split into 2 groups. The group stages saw some excellent tennis, Pam Tomalin played out of her skin to beat one of the favourites in the 1<sup>st</sup> match. Considering it was all played of level we were treated to some nail biting finishes. The top two in each group when through to the semi-finals.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 1<sup>st</sup>semi-finalsaw Mark Lambert take on David Ruck Keene, it was very enjoyable to watch with Mark Lambert coming out on top with a 6/4 victory. In the 2<sup>nd</sup>semi-final Andrew Woodward defeated Pam Tomalin 6/4. This left Andrew & Mark in the final. Andrew Woodward played a consistent competition and was the lowest handicap on the day. He went on to clinch the title 6/3 in an exciting match. Congratulations Andrew!</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Oratory Blog Feed</div>Rachel Moffatthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16694811085151876308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32292769.post-15183522489070910502011-09-29T12:14:00.000+00:002011-09-29T12:14:30.405+00:00Category C Club Doubles Tournament - Season 2010-2011<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sunday 26<sup>th</sup> September and the Category C Club Doubles Tournament for the 2010-2011 season was played at the Oratory. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With some last minute drop outs we were down to 4 pairs. Competition for the all important semi finals places was tough….. It seemed that “the knockout” stages were used as a warm up as in the semi finals everyone stepped up their game! </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first semi final game saw Sarah Whittaker and Sarah Brownlee play Ian wood and Tim Tomalin. This game saw some superb tennis from the Sarah’s although it seemed that Ian and Tim were unable to miss a shot (as had been the way most of the morning!) and this secured their place in the final. The next match was Kevin McCourt and Brian Lambert against Pam Tomalin and Mark Lambert. With Pam barking orders and Mark running like a mad man they managed to gain the lead and close the set 6-3. This of course meant Pam and Mark would play Ian and Tim in the final. By this stage Pam and Mark were on form and they took the first game. From here they were level pegging all the way to 5-5. The game both teams played some truly superb tennis taking it right to the line with a 5-5, 3 deuce, 40-40 finale which ended in a brilliant cross court tambour which Pam and Mark were unable to return. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
