IRTA trip to Middlesex University Real Tennis Club
25 November 2018

Many thanks to MURTC for hosting a very enjoyable event. Middlesex won 5–3 and the full match card is
below. A special mention to Mark Keogh, who managed to squeeze in the fixture en route to Santiago, Chile; and to
James Rossiter, who stepped in to replace the injured Simon Cripps, and won both his matches, thus accounting for
two of the three Irish wins on the day. Well done to Tamaki, who took to real tennis like the proverbial duck to
water.
Also a big thank you to Mary who organised what was described by one of our opponents as ”the best real tennis
food he had ever had”!
