Reichwald Trophy Fives Tournament 2021
26 September 2021
Match report by Chris Hedley-DentThere was a very special atmosphere at this year’s Reichwald trophy on Sunday 26th September, which felt like a re-inauguration of the event after the trials of the COVID year. It was hard to believe that the last one was two years prior in 2019 and that many of the players are so well advanced in their school careers!There was an excellent par turnout of 30 players and we were blessed with lovely weather and much parental support. As usual Janet Wooff prepared us a delicious lunch at the Beale Centre to start off proceedings. The afternoon was orchestrated by Wayne Enstone and Alexandra Steel with much efficiency and the pairings of OB’s with current pupils worked extremely well as evidenced by the closely fought nature of many of the matches. The standard was outstanding in many of the games and in particular at the knock-out stage in pool 1, in which the Trophy was contested. Much gripping and entertaining fives was played and all involved.
