Condolences - Douglas Eric Cook

Posted:

13 February 2025

The Club has been made aware of the death of former member Doug Cook on the 11th December 2024, aged 85. Doug, originally from South Wales, represented Bucks, Hampshire and Devon at County level and spent many years as Devon's Men's Seniors Coordinator and Captain at various age groups. He also played in numerous National Championships.
Many of our older members who remember the Palace Hotel Tournament in Torquay will know that Doug was instrumental in helping to build up the event, which included golf as well as tennis.
Doug resigned (reluctantly) from the Club in 2022 due to his tennis inactivity, having been a member since 1996. Within the seniors tennis fraternity he will be remembered as an excellent organiser who was very competitive on-court and a lovely man off-court.
Our condolences go out to his wife Sheila, family and friends.

We usually do well in this match but a resolute Army Masters 1st pair went unbeaten during the day. Our 1st and 2nd pairs were solid against the oppo's 2 and 3 and it was left to both third pairs to share the spoils resulting in a 4 1/2 - 4 1/2 draw. Thank you once again to all the players and of course Bill Herlihy for organising this fixture, which is our last match of the season. Full match report accessible from the Photo Gallery page.

Win against a Dutch Representative Team

Posted:

28 November 2024

This was the first time in 6 years that we played the Dutch at home and it proved to be very successful both on and off the court. After 2 days of competitive singles and doubles tennis, we emerged with a 17 - 13 win. We would like to thank the Dutch players for contributing to a brilliant couple of days of tennis and I am sure they enjoyed their post-match tour of the All England Club, which included a visit to the Wimbledon Museum. Thank you to all our players and special thanks to Graham and Carolyn Neale and Mike Carroll for organising the social events. Match report and photos can be accessed via our Photo Gallery or International Fixtures page.
