IC Day 2024 - Club Tennis Llafranc

Ayer jueves 14 de marzo celebramos nuestro primer IC Day del año, esta vez en las magníficas instalaciones del Club Tennis Llafranc y con los miembros del ILTCE mayores de 70 y de 80 años. Ellos han sido siempre referentes tenísticos en nuestro país y hoy nos han dado otra lección de buen tenis y, sobretodo, de fairplay, camaradería y buen humor.

Los jugadores, repartidos en cuatro grupos, llamados Manuel Orantes, Lis Arilla, Jaume Bartrolí y Andrés Gimeno, disputaron series de partidos de dobles a 4 juegos, resultando ganador el grupo Manuel Orantes y Montse Boter como MVP del torneo. 

A continuación se sirvió un excelente almuerzo en el restaurante del propio club.

¡Gracias a todos los jugadores por vuestra participación y al Club Tennis Llafranc por vuestro perfecto soporte y generosidad!!
