This was another great year for the club. The biggest achievement by far was Paul Warwick winning the 2019 Borders singles championship.
Duncan Ritchie and Ian Scott earned a place in the semi-final of the Borders pairs.
For a small club, it leaves its mark on the Borders and hopes to continue these successes next year.
