Believed to be the UK’s first non-stop padel extravaganza, the annual Hatton Padethon raised more than £10,000 for charity Marie Curie. This was a gesture of support for the hospice which has assisted members of the club.
Highlights included a visit by ex world veterans champion Fermin Novillo who provided an exhibition while an East of Scotland team captained by Ross Murdoch defeated West counterparts.
The exercise, a repeat of last year’s successful venture, was again organised by Craig McBride.
