Old Merchant Taylors' Fives is a very competetive club, with several members playing in the top echelons of National-level Singles and Doubles tournaments.
OMT Fives is also proud that three members have been selected to represent England at One Wall Handball (a derivative of fives) and in October 2009 played in the World Championships.
Practice and club ladder matches are played every Wednesday from 7.45 pm. Club matches are arranged for Wednesday evenings or Saturday mornings, depending on travel distances.
Several club members play in national tournaments throughout the year. See the fixtures tab to get involved, and get some dates in the diary!
When not playing fives, we are also a very social club, and invite you to join us both on and off the court.
Meet some of the members:
Gareth Price - Club Chairman
Richard Price - Secretary & Website Admin
Richard has been a member of the club since 2004, but only started in national tournament play in 2008.
Playing at school in the mid-90's, Richard was forever the bridesmaid, losing in the final of every level of the schoolboy Nationals.
In later years, Richard has enjoyed playing in several President's Cups (with varying degrees of success), was half of the winning pair in the OMT Doubles Trophy 2008/9 and has begun his ascent up the national rankings.
The highlight of Richard's sporting career to date is undoubtably representing England at One Wall Handball - a sport he was introduced to through OMT Fives. Richard reached the Singles and Doubles (C) Semi Finals at the World Championships in Portland, Oregon 2009 and was a part of the Handball Ashes winning side.
