September 21 After having to reschedule we held out exhibition match we hosted an International Exhibition tennis match on the 25th September. Players Neil Pauffley and Patrick Foley both world ranked, displayed Wimbledon & Grand Slam standard tennis to an enthralled audience of members and the local community.
Together they have won, five ITF singles title, three ITF doubles titles and three British tour titles. Neil has also recently been supporting Emma Raducanu as a hitting partner during the pandemic to support her continued development, while Patrick returned for our event after playing in Portugal at the ITF Championships.
Playing for pride and reputation, both achieving service speeds of over 120mph, gave us a fantastic match with the spectators enjoying every point. Neil eventually triumphed after two hard fought sets.
After the showcase event, two lucky prize-winning spectators were picked to play a doubles match with the professionals. One of our own talented juniors Ellis Mills didn’t let the club down, showing some real skills and enthusiasm. Although being runner-up, it will be an experience he’ll never forget.
Will Thorley club professional coach and organiser of the event was delighted that the day was so successful, “giving a real Wimbledon experience, with such high- quality players, ball boys & girls and an umpire, hopefully it’s something we can repeat next year”

We held another successful Annual Presentation Evening on Saturday 18th October with many of our club winners receiving their trophies. We also held a raffle and quiz in support of a local group Rowangarth Day Centre that has operated in Erdington since 2008, providing a high level of services for adults with a disability or learning difficulties. They also provide care for adults with Early Onset Dementia and more importantly support to one of our former members. We were delighted to raise £240 and present the cheque to Chris Braniff |
