Wessex Fives Club enjoyed another good season all be it with a few regulars missing extended periods due to injuries that don’t heal as fast as they used to! We were half expecting to move to the new courts during this season, but this did not materialise and I maybe writing the same words in 12 months time, but whilst we wait we are lucky enough to play on the fabulous ‘old’ courts every Tuesday night. This year we welcomed a very regular newbie in Ross Wilson, brand new to the game and relatively new to Winchester, Ross got stuck in from the first session having made enquiries as to when the pre season training started! He enjoyed his first Jester’s Tour and now looks set to also be a regular in Winchester on Tuesdays and in Edinburgh each January. It was good to see some juniors on court at the start of the evenings and we also benefitted from the very strong Winchester College school boys joining us as well most weeks. A very enjoyable match against the Executioners (most of whom were Wessex Old Boys (and girls) was enjoyed immensely and we had a good turnout in the Barnes Bridge. Our own Letchworth Bowl was won by Ed Hawke and Jonathan Jesty bringing the curtain down on another year of fives. We look forward to September and wait for news of the opening of the new courts and sport centre.
