It's official.... Prested Hall are on the map. ( The LRTA one at least)

Wonder if it's programmed into the sat nav yet... the Essex countryside can be mistaken for the Bermuda triangle at times.

Bermuda triangle? Hmmm.... sounds like the Prested pro shop to me. I bet there's loads of stuff that has gone in there and then disappeared without trace...Pell Cup winners take note and guard that trophy with your lives.

You all know by now that I can't resist talking about "that silly game" and Roger is going to have to get used to the words RAFAEL NADAL WORLD NO 1.

Pell Cup Success for Prested!

After a fantastic few days of qualifying at the National Tennis Club, Newport Rhode Island, the division C final of the Pell Cup was contested by the four from Prested Hall. An all English final! Will Stephens and Tim Collins narrowly beat Chris Vigrass and Mike Norgrove in a three set thriller, winning 5-6, 6-4, 6-4.

We're on our way home tomorrow after playing at the Boston real tennis club.......with lots of silver!

The new (Lawn tennis - aka "that silly game" ) World No 1 is....

RAFAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Move over Roger, the new King is about to be crowned.

Rob Fahey better watch out, Roger Federer has been known to hit a Real Tennis ball or two. Wouldn't mind betting Roger has a fairly useful handicap too.
