England: European Champions!

 

Last weekend (23/24 November), Roehampton Club Member James Chaudry and our Golf and Games Manager Louis Laville, were a part of the England Team, representing the country in the European Championships in a team of 12.

 

Mixed Doubles took place on the Saturday and England played unbelievably well all day to go unbeaten in both Open and Senior Open to win 2 Mixed Doubles Golds. This put England in a strong position but still had work to do on Sunday in Gender Doubles.

 

The team pulled through on Sunday, and despite not winning a gold on the Sunday, all four divisions won silver! The only team to make it to every Final, gave England enough points to win the European Championships!

A huge congratulations to the team, the support from Roehampton Club Members throughout the weekend was fantastic!
