A team from Awahou visited the Ashhurst Tennis Club on Saturday afternoon. Games were in full swing when a heavy downpour of rain spoilt the remainder of the afternoon’s play. All players adjourned to the supper-room of the town hall, where afternoon tea was provided by the ladies. Mr Linklater, on behalf of the Awahou team, thanked the Ashhurst Club for their hospitality.
