GC Home Internationals
The GC Home Internationals, hosted by Wales at Nailsea, took place over the last weekend. Club Member Sarah Melvin was in the team from a while ago. The week prior to the event that went up to 2 with Kevin Ham drafted in from Reserve to cover for a Covid-pinged team member who had to self isolate. Kevin became ill prior to the weekend and his place was taken by Mike Parry at short notice. Other team members were Ian Burridge as Captain and Chris Roberts. One slightly amusing thing to note was that Ian played his son who was competing for England in the event. Honours were even in the doubles at 1 game apeice, but Ian prevailed 2-0 in the singles!
Mike and Sarah acquitted themselves well over the weekend taking several scalps. the overall placing of the team was 2nd to England – was this an example of ‘coming home’ as we’ve heard recently in another sport? Scotland finished 3rd. The Irish team could not compete due to Covid restrictions.
Congratulations to Sarah and Mike! Always nice to represent your country.
