Good to see Isabelle competing as well as Talia and Ella.
I would like to see these three really push on this year.
Do you think this would have been a arranged Lta trip anyone?

---

 I wouldn't have thought so (but could be completely wrong)

Isa is a junior and playing in the Nationals in a week or so

Whereas none of the others here are

So she'd have a rather different agenda

But could be...

it was only a few weeks ago, when I was wondering if they still did player, trips,.

I know they used to, but I think they have slowed down with this since Covid struck.

 With just one national academy, it is much harder to find groups of similar ability to travel overseas. There are probably only Bath and Gosling have the depth of players, other than Loughborough.

 Arrgh ok.

I know they used to do trips to Lamanga quite frequently but Im guessing this has not happened for a while.

THere's a Slovakian player here called Salma Drugdova

I mean, it's not a great name, is it?

Although maybe better to be drugged over than Drugdupthegazoo - which has to be a future forum moniker....

 She's cropped in the draws a few times. I presume her father's name is Drugd

 She has cropped up a few times playing against British players. I always thought it was a rather unfortunate name for a tennis player or any other sportsperson for that matter.
