Club Championships: Day 2 results & Monday Order of Play

The sun was out, the fundraising committee had discovered QR codes, and Emma and Jess bossed the bar. In matchplay, there were still some carcasses strewn across the courts as the big beasts flexed their claws ahead of bigger challenges to come, with some of yesterday's lions among the victims.

PS: Mens Over 50 singles is going to get very spicy....
PPS: Volunteers needed for tomorrow evening at the bar.
PPPS(?): Roman's "Cellar Sessions" coming on Tuesday & Thursday for our oenophiles. More details to follow.
