The biennial seniors four nations championships were held in Glasgow over the May bank holiday weekend. With age groups of over 35, 45 and 50 men and ladies, Wales was represented by 21 players from across the country. After three days of intense singles and doubles matches against each country, with many third set championship tie-break deciders the eventual winners were a strong Scotland team. The lower places were not decided until the final doubles rubber between Wales and Ireland was completed - Wales won and thus finished second overall, above England and Ireland.
With all age groups finishing either second or third it was one of our best overall results in this competition for many years despite some injuries, illness and limited availability over the weekend. Congratulations to the whole team for their individual contributions during the event. Special note goes to Claire Powell who won her three singles matches.
All players are now looking forward to the next event in Ireland in 2019 to renew their old rivalries. (The older seniors teams will compete next year, also in Ireland).
Thanks go to Scotland for hosting an enjoyable, well run event.
