The Annual Cranleigh Fives tournament for Under 12s was again well supported by the Fives playing Prep schools. It was particularly pleasing to welcome back Orley Farm after a three year absence.
As usual the tournament was dominated by Highgate Junior School who provided three out of the four semi-finalists with Ludgrove providing the other. The standard of Fives from Highgate was once again very high and set the mark to which we must all try to aspire. The final was an all Highgate affair with their first pair running out comfortable winners. The plate competition was as always an exciting and closely contested affair which saw Ludgrove 3 taking on and beating Orley Farm 1 in an enjoyable final.
The improvements made by the children over the day were apparent as was their enjoyment. My many thanks to all the staff involved in training and accompanying their teams and to the parents who supported what was once again a very successful and enjoyable day.
