The tournament was played with the courts surrounded by rows of earth and stones from recently dug trenches for the club's new irrigation system, with balls occasionally having to be retrieved from the bottom of a trench. But the players took the earthworks in their stride without complaint and without significant disruption to play.

For a full report of the day's play see the EACF website.
