the iPubs team of Mark Whitehouse, Jamie Muirhead, Jamie Crowfoot, Damian Rodriguez, Ben Rogers and Tom Colautti took on the International Club of GB on the grass at the All England Community Ground Raynes Park on 20 July.

The weather smiled on us and the standard of tennis was high. 

The iPubs got off to a strong start with a 2-1 lead after round 1, splitting a couple of match tie breaks. 

Round 2 continued in a similar pattern, with Rogers/Colautti making the most of their time on the grass after deciding that tie break number 1 wasn't quite close enough - clutch!

Rodriguez/Crowfoot sealed the deal in round 3 with another excellent third set win to make the score 5-3 overall.

Well done to Podlewski/Corrie from the IC who emerged undefeated, and massive thanks to the All England Community Ground to hosting.
