At Goode Sport we're recovering from the annual Wimbledon Summer Invitational Team tournament sponsored by Ashaway.
The tournament consists of teams of 6 players, of county standard or above who battle it out over 2 days of matches and serious saturday night party to find an eventual winner. This years winners were the Court Jesters, lead by Kristain Roebuck and Steve Higgins, the team featured 4 other full time players from the south west of England. The 'Jesters' scooped the prize money in a closely contested final match against 'The Team with No Name' featuring former world Silver medalist Karen Beckman and her son Ben amongst some other very talented individuals.
The Ashaway team (Ashaway and Ibuprofen) ended up in 7th place out of the 14 teams that entered. The original Ashaway line up suffered quite an injury list in the run up to the tournament, but the players who stepped in showed great spirit in helping (a
nd dragging repectively) Ashaway's Mark sellwood and Goode Sports own Paul Smith up to 7th spot. Paul is in the office this week still complaining of aches and pains but loved every minute of it.Ashaway would like to thank all the competitors, wimbledon club and particularly Kate Manning (pictured at her control desk) for putting on such a fantastic tournament that Ashaway are so very proud to be associated with.
