THPod 3.15: Chichester, Ventnor strong in Portsmouth, Thornden back in Apsley Premier

Send us Fan MailIt’s a seminal weekend ahead for Portsmouth & District summer tennis, and the top tables could be more or less settled across the Mixed, Mens and Ladies doubles leagues by Monday morning. Robin Ellison joins us this week to take a look at the fixtures that will play a big role in deciding things in east Hampshire. Meanwhile on the west side of the county, Riverside A claimed top spot in the Apsley league last weekend as Thornden sat things out. This weekend Riverside take a break while Thornden are back in action. Can Lee on Solent stop Thornden from reclaiming pole position? Their Premier Division survival could depend on it.Rob Ernsberger's Twyford B team make the road trip to Riverside to meet their B team. Both teams have perfect records and the pennant is on the line. Who will win? Hard to say, but it's our first five chilli match of the summer. Meanwhile Dave discusses grumpy coaches in Spain, Robin has been to Wickham Festival, Milton on Sea host a Grade Four tournament and Colden Common Tennis Club turns ten years old. Find out more about the Milford Open: https://competitions.lta.org.uk/tournament/F7702E51-C6F6-4894-8553-80569225607ASongs used in this weeks show: Opening “Classical Gas [Mason Williams]” performed by Tommy EmmanuelAccompanying Mark Jackson's sting is “Deep River Blues” performed by Tommy Emmanuel with Jason IspellFind out more about Tommy Emmanuel here: https://tommyemmanuel.com and on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL-0gAth4u6Wp-9_98XU3nASend us your thoughts for (or about!) the show:[email protected]/THPODWhatsApp: +44 (0) 74 7039 5289Follow us at:Instagram @thampshirepodTikTok: hampshiretennispodFacebook: The Tennis Hampshire PodcastYoutube: @tennishampshirepodcast
