European Pickleball Championships Roma 2025
Congratulations to Spain who took The European President’s Cup for the most medals. England came second and Italy third.
By all accounts it was an amazing event to be part of from those who played, volunteered and supported.

Congratulations to Tony Thompson (shown here with Steffi Pace, coach of Malta Pickleball Team) who has been selected and asked to captain the Maltese 50+ team in the upcoming European Team Championships starting on the 19th September in Rome. Tony is under no illusions that it will be tough against some of the bigger countries but is delighted to be taking part in this major event.
RRPC at The English Open 2025 Slide Show
Thanks go to Adam Jefferson for creating this slide show. It includes the video that Keith Scoons found of Andy Alston interrupting a live stream on another court as he celebrates his bronze medal win by falling over onto a barrier. Congratulations to all medal winners, to all players, all volunteers, and all supporters that made this event the biggest Pickleball tournament held in the UK. A lot of fun was had by RRPC players so if sitting on the fence as to whether to go next year – Give it a try! Also look out for The English Nationals being held in Bolton from 30th October.
Congratulations
