New padel courts for Southbroom

The opening was held at the Southbroom Golf Club.

The Southbroom Padel courts were officially opened at the Southbroom Golf Club in December.

The opening included a ceremonial ribbon cutting and an inaugural grudge match between the captains of the Southbroom Golf Club, Gary Purtell and Southbroom Tennis Club, Pete Nelson.

Before the grudge match, there was a Padel Kids mini-tournament.

On Saturday, some tournaments catered for all levels of skill and ability. Beginners and intermediates played until noon, while advanced players played until 15:00.

This was followed by an expo match involving top players.
