This weekend, Penkhull has some representation at the Blackpool 1* Grand Prix!  Was a great experience for the players who hadn’t seen a GP before, and the old hands had some success too.

On the Saturday, Craig Stott, Craig Preece, Phil Barnish, Andy Smith and Shaun Slater all took part in the Banded competition.  The level was high, so well done to Shaun for coming runner-up in Band 4, and to Craig Preece for a solid semi-final appearance in Band 5.

Sunday saw the arrival of the open singles, and was deadly serious in comparison!  Many congratulations to Natalie Slater for winning the U21 competition!

It appears not to be outdone by their Potteries League Counterparts another Penkhull team appeared in the stone league handicap final for the third straight year (albeit Penkhull B won 2011/12, Penkhull A where runners up 2010/11) Thanks to early wins: Prelim Rnd Rhodes/Sims/Barber drew 4 half each with Tennis B but progressed on the away team rule, Rhodes/Preece/Barnish beat Titt A in the quarters then Rhodes/Barnish/Barber beat Tennis A in the semi finals. The final was won 5 half 3 half with the team of R.Rhodes/N.Sims/K.Barber beating off the challenge of Alchemists to take the title and keep it with Penkhull for another year. Great effort in all rounds from all who contributed thanks folks.
