Louise Woods is a long-standing member of ISC and is responsible for organising the first team games. Louise commented “Our teams have surpassed every expectation and have excelled in their matches this season, some opponents are even backing away before they get a chance to play them! Their skills together as a team are unmatched and we are so excited to see what’s in store for future games. The academy here at Ipswich Sports Club is responsible for producing many good players who have enjoyed gaining more experience in doubles, and representing Ipswich Sports Club in league matches.”

A huge congratulations to the players that make up these teams, they’ve done a fantastic job and will carry on doing so as the matches continue! We are always so proud of the players that are a part of ISC and can’t wait to see more talent arrive. A big thank you also goes to the players who are committed to playing year in, year out irrespective of the weather. Thank you also to Louise for her dedication to organising the fixtures.
