The annual fixture against Bromsgrove School was played on Friday, 17 June 2022. It was the hottest day of the year so far, and fortunately (for the slightly older team) it was decided that pro-sets would be a more suitable format for the fixture.
Bromsgrove turned out a strong team, including the mens county champion (at the age of 17). The Public School Old Boys consisted of three Old Bromsgrovians, and a debut appearance from new member Jon Proctor. The Bromsgrove School first pair proved too strong, and won both their matches, but the Pubs managed to win both matches against the 2nd pair.
The match was enjoyed by all, and played in good spirit, and it was finished off nicely with some pork baps and beers (for the PUBS team!). Thanks to the Bromsgrove School and Director of Tennis, Richard Lawton for once again putting on a great fixture, and match supper.
