OOs from across the decades enjoyed a fun few hours at Saturday's alumni real tennis afternoon.

Reigning women's world champion Claire Fahey led the session with some initial coaching followed by a series of matches.

She said: "It was a great afternoon with a really good bunch who all got on well.

"It worked well having the clinic first to go over things, refresh memories and run through the rules (much needed!), and hopefully everyone enjoyed it."

Ben Harwood (class of '77) was one of those taking part back at his Alma Mater and added: "Claire was amazing - to be coached by the current Ladies world champion was a real privilege and inspiration."

Any OOs wishing to get back into real tennis can visit the club's website here
