IC of France

7th - 8th October

Result: IC of GB 19 - 9 IC of France
Venue: AELTC (Saturday) and Reed's School (Sunday)

It was another wonderful weekend in London with our IC friends from France. This year the match was hosted at the AELTC and Reed's School on consecutive days in October. The majority of matches were close and we were fortunate to win eight final set Champions tie breaks. There were many highlights over the weekend and the match was played in great spirit throughout. The Saturday evening dinner was a great success, with amusing speeches delivered by IC of GB Captain John Feaver and Heiner Tadault from the IC of France.

Our thanks to the All England Club and in particular, Adrian Blackman at Reed's School for their help with the fixture.
