Possible billeting

 

As you may be aware, there are a group of 5 Real Tennis Professionals who are doing a sponsored bike ride from Jesmond Dene to Seacourt in aid of various charities.  The RealRiders will be stopping off at The Oratory on Thursday 9^th July and we are looking to see if any club members would be willing to offer a billet for the evening.  If you think you may be able to help, please email Mark on m.eadle@oratory.co.uk

Club v School, 12th March 2008

The Boy’s secured a 3-0 victory over the Club in an enthralling match on Thursday evening.

The ever improving Christian Whittaker beat Simon Booker 8/5 in a great match that had a lot of forcing on show!!

Peter Mawson was edged out 8/7 in a cliff hanger by Upper 6th student Ettiene Littlefair, before Whittaker and DeSteffano beat Fergus Brownlee and Al Jenkins 8/5 in a rolling handicap match.

Many thanks to the members who took part, the boys love the competitive tennis, and am sure they were glad of the break from revision!
