Fulhimbledon 2006



It is the one title Martina Navratilova hasn't won and the trophy Roger Federer covets the most - it is the annual Fulhimbledon mixed doubles tournament. Played on the same day as the final of another lesser known tournament (Wimbledon I think it is called), the weather was excellent and we all turned up in our best whites. With such famous past winners as Brad & Shaz and Mike & Iris, the 12 finely-tuned pairings tuned up ready to show their best tennis and take the title....

OK, OK, maybe most of us hadn't lifted the racket since the previous year and there were more Pims and beers being served than aces. But as always, it is damn good fun and superbly organised by The Tournament Master himself, Mr Thomas Flinn. The tennis was in fact all very sociable and many laughs were had. Special thanks goes out to my partner, Ms Anna, who played superbly and held up Team Posso throughout the competition.

Best dressed as always went Mr Simon Quirke, sporting a very english pink polo and a pink and navy vest that must have left him cooking. Here's a couple of picks of the crew as well.










At the end of the day everyone was very happy (which might have had more to do with the drinks than the tennis) and the coveted trophy was passed on to a new holder for another year. The big question is where will the tournament be held next year - Taupolimbledon maybe....
