The IC v Public School Old Boys (PUBS) fixture took place on Saturday 16th July on the fantastic grass courts of The All England Club Community Sports Ground on a scorching hot day. The fixture was closely contested with some great tennis from both teams, but the IC narrowly lost to the PUBS 6-3, with two of the matches being lost on a Champions tie-break.

After some close matches in some very high temperatures, the teams all enjoyed some thoroughly deserved drinks.

Thanks go out to Andrew Ambrose and The All England for allowing the fixture to be played at the fantastic facility at The All England Community sports ground.
