Plenty on VW partnering VS-W in a doubles competion in The Tournament by John Clarke (Melbourne: Text Publishing, 2002) . . .
. . . but this of course is (fantasy) fiction.
The one you have missed is bowls. There are many references in the diaries to Leonard and Virginia playing bowls on the lawn at Monks House, and inviting their visitors to compete.

Does anyone know if VW played tennis or any other sport?
She did, of course, bowl (play cricket), and she rode a bicycle
and went ice skating, but I can't find any other references.
Is anyone aware of anything else on VW and sports?
With thanks--
