THE ANNUAL Theydon Bois Charity Tennis match was another smashing success this year- raising over £600 for Breast Cancer research.
Now in its fifth year, the charity match at the Sidney Road Tennis Club attracted well over 70 spectators on May 4.
The money will go to support the work done by the Breast Cancer Research Unit at St Margarets Hospital in Epping and the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow.
St Margarets Breast specialist Ashraf Patel said: "it is events like this that make people aware of the importance of clinical trials locally in helping to see annually over 350 patients with breast cancer and helping them have access to leading edge clinical trial drugs".
Organiser and club captain Nigel Hanley said: "it was another tremendously successful day for the club, whose members are very community minded in this our 5th year of running this event".
