The Eton Fives Association


    Midland Tournament

    Tony Hughes supported by the Old Edwardians was responsible for inaugurating the Midland Tournament.

    The Tournament received sponsorship from SAAB (Gt. Britain) Ltd for the 1981/82 season.

    Through the enthusiam of Howard Wiseman and Mark Yates the Midland was brought back to life during the 2007-2008 season after a gap of some twenty years. As part of a programme to invigorate the game at Repton School, where the game has been dormant for a number of years, it was agreed with the help of the Headmaster and Peter Bradburn (Master-in-charge of Fives) that the Midland should be held at the School in 2007.
