Congratulations to Andy on passing his DCA Level 2 Coaching exams. This means we now have 3 LTA qualified coaches at the club and another 3 Coaching Assistants. This puts us in a great position to expand the coaching programme when we have the extra courts at the new site.

Mens Doubles Championships

These were held on Sunday 20th July, in windy but dry conditions. At times there were more spectators than competitors so thanks to everyone who came to watch and to Tak for organising the day. Last minute withdrawals meant for a gruelling league stage where all pairs played 6 sets with the top two competing in a single set final and the 3rd and 4th playing for the plate.

Joe and David Lukens retained their title, beating Marcel Lambert and Mike Fieldsend in the final while Owen Greenway and David Hughes beat Alex and Tak Ho in the plate final.

Ladies Doubles Club Championships

admin — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 08:47:20 +0000

This was a great afternoon of tennis. There was a round robin first with the top two going through to the final and the bottom two playing for the plate. Ann and Tracy topped the round robin and played Anna and Caroline whilst Sarah and Jackie played Jeanette and Alison.
The main final was a very close match with Anna and Caroline just scraping through. In the plate unfortunately Jeanette was injured so Alison took on Sarah and Jackie on her own.
After such good tennis we all settled down to a great tea provided by the contestants.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and we hope more couples will enter next year.

Tracy is ladies champion again

Tracy Fieldsend won the Ladies Singles Championship again this year, beating Anna Waters 6-2 in the final. The plate competition was own by Caroline Craggs who beat Jayne Mattick 6-2.
The number of entries (4) was disappointing - a lot of people were away - but the tennis was good as was the pavlova and champagne. Thanks to Martin Turnbull for organising the day.
