The Tennis Committee
On Sunday, 19 April, the adult football team played its last 11-a-side game of the season (we lost 2-3 vs Kerala Tuskers, click to see photo of the team).
Looking back at the season, it was great!
The team is young, happy to play and really shows football skills.
We often had 6 to 8 subs, which means that everyone had to get out on the pitch for 30 minutes or more, but everyone accepted it without complaining.
Last but not least, we won the large majority of our games, which had not been the case for years.
The new season will start on Saturday, 9 May, in 3 groups:
1: Semi-hardball from 10-11 am
2: U13 hardball transition from 11 am-12 pm
3: U16 Hardball from 12 pm-1 pm

Please note that our traditional annual Individual tournament will be on Tuesday, 16 June.
For the first time in France, Shaun Murphy, World Champion and Triple Crown winner, will cross the Channel for a truly exceptional private exhibition at the Standard Athletic Club. (See poster in main article)

With 50 places already reserved by the French Billiard Federation, principal partner of the event, attendance will be limited to around 90 guests, ensuring a rare and exclusive atmosphere.
A decade after hosting Steve Davis, the Club once again prepares for one of its most prestigious evenings.

As requested by members, we have acquired some board games, which will be available to all to play. But may we ask people to please take care of the little pieces and put them back as they found them? The games will be stored in the cupboard by the microwave in the clubhouse.
