Finals Day this Sunday 🏆

Written on .

Hi everyone,

After weeks of intense (but friendly) competition, Brondesbury’s tennis champions for 2023 will be decided on Sunday!

The forecast is looking good, so it should be a great day.

Not only will there be some wonderful tennis to watch, but our friend Sirous will be there with his amazing BBQ stand from 1.30pm. Menu items include sausages, burgers, rump steak strips, veggie burgers and veggie sausages and salads. The food is all free, but his mulled wine and Sangria will be sold.

On top of that there will be some show-stopper cakes to enjoy (don’t forget to enter the GBBO, just bring your creation on the day).

The tennis action starts at 12:00, and as a reminder the schedule for the day is below.

If you’re taking part, supporting, or just fancy a free BBQ, please do come along. Remember to come hungry!

To those who are still playing, good luck, and see you all on Sunday.
