Essex player Alan Rayner was part of the England team that went on to win the inaugural Four Nations Super Seniors Competition. The event was held at the Bolton Arena from 22nd to 24th November involving Over 70 and Over 75 mixed teams from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It was a round robin event with each match comprising a men’s doubles, ladies doubles and mixed doubles. Alan was in the over 70 team and played and won the mixed doubles in each match. England over 70 won all their matches and therefore won the over 70 competition. The England over 75 team were runners up to Scotland in the Over 75 category. Alan was involved in the deciding mixed doubles against Scotland with his partner Jane Ling from Norfolk. They won 7-6(6), 6-4 giving England a 2-1 match win and also the cup in the combined overall competition. Well done to Alan and the team!

Positive weekend for the Essex ladies including BLTC members Shami, SumSum, Keira & Alice and captained by Helen
The team retained their position in Division 2 of Winter County Cup, all the more impressive considering 6/8 team members are still 16U!
Great work too from Emilija, Anvi, Lucy, Abby & vice-captain Ellison

After 7 years in Division 1 where we enjoyed three championships and four runner-up spots, it’s tough to say we’ve been relegated to Division 2. But despite this setback, our young team really showed their grit and played with great spirit throughout the weekend.

We had a few new faces joining us, and their debut performances were promising. The experience they gained will definitely help as we look to the future.

As team captain, I want to thank our selectors, Dave, Rob, and Simon, for all their support. And a special thanks to Graham Ray for all his behind-the-scenes work.

We will hopefully look forward to returning back to Division 1 in a few years.
