The English Lawyers played their first match over fifty years ago in 1954 or '55, against the Bar at the All England Tennis Club at Wimbledon on hard courts. A match against Irish lawyers followed and other matches in the London area, including matches against the Houses of Lords and Commons.
The late 1950's brought the first match against the Swedes. This was followed by play against the Romans in Italy and then the Germans. There was one visit to play against French lawyers in Montpelier. The latest team to join was the Hungarians and in 2005, the hosted an excellent (if damp!) tournament in the beautiful city of Budapest.
We hope for sunshine in London!
