Honours shared as SAC U-13 and U-10 teams play return matches against Vésinet Sport Club International.
While some progress has been made, the difficult weather is posing a challenge. Nevertheless, Hugo Marrison won his first round match against Philippe Ayme-Jouve and goes to the next round. Don't forget that remaining first-round matches should be played by Sunday 27th evening at the latest.
More information about the Dinner/Tournament on the 5th of February. For the Tournament, we will take part in a "Simultaneous Super Ronde de France", more details in the main article. (And don't forget the Friday 15th workshop, send requests for suggestions to Jenny.)
On Sunday, the adult team played away against Vélizy Sport Club International; after a pretty even first half the score was 1-0 to VSCI thanks to a penalty against us, but, despite a good fight and a goal by Ignacio Aguirre, the final score was 5-1 to Vélizy.
We are building our 2019 ALT’s and Raquettes teams and we're still on the lookout for Raquettes players. If you are interested in playing in either team please get in touch with Sally Cangardel or Marie de Tilly (ALT’s) or Gigi Cothier (Raquettes) for further information.

It was a tough night for SAC's Squash teams. Team 1, n° 3 in the league, lost 4/1 away to the league n° 2, Verrières. Meanwhile, Team 2 played CAL Squash at home but lost the final match for a 3/2 loss overall.
Today we had a very nice game against FIFFA, but unfortunately lost 5-3. (Actually better than our last meeting!) Next Sunday we play Vésinet Sport Club International away, hoping to do better than our 2-2 draw last time. And our Juniors will be playing there too.
Pilates and Step classes are on full schedule. The new Pilates Basic Mat Progression class on Mondays at 12:15 pm has started. Please check the SAC website for the full programme and as usual contact Pamela Hennebert for any additional information.
Last weekend saw several exciting matches being played in the Open Singles and Open Veterans sections of the Tournament.
Please find attached to the main article a simple exercise for Friday's workshop. You just have to say what you would bid with the hands shown after an opening by your partner and a "take-out double" by your right-hand opponent.
