Westway Christmas Fives

Natalie Lilienthal reports:

24/12/25: The second annual Westway Festive Fives Ladder was a hoot this year with 19 players chopping and changing courts and partners every few minutes.

We introduced a new Westway Social Rule (or WiseWoman rule, perhaps!) where every player only gets one chance to win a point on their serve before being automatically cut down. This kept all games fast paced, helped even out rotations with varying levels of player and meant everyone had a chance to score even in short seven minute matches! Speedy!

This year's top court winners at the end of the session were Edwin Gosnell and newcomer Theo. Most of the crowd had zoomed both up and down the ladder during the course of the evening looking suitably exercised, festive and ready to decamp to the pub after.

The Westway Club sessions are open to all and stay open during the holidays so please This email address is being protected from spambots.
