TWO members of Chard Tennis Club, Ellie Krocke and Jacky Boothman, have just been to Florida to compete in the world team and individual championships.
Krocke was selected to play for the Netherlands in the 70+ age group and Boothman for Great Britain in the 75+ category.
Krocke’s team won a silver medal and Boothman’s won a bronze.
In addition, Krocke won the gold in the individual championship for the fifth time and retained her number one spot in the world.
The conditions were gruelling with the temperature reaching 34 degrees with high humidity - it was quite a change from Chard and quite an achievement for a Chard member.
