Finals Sept 2024

We had two very different days of weather for our Finals weekend. Saturday was decidedly autumnal : quite chilly and blustery. Sunday felt more like one of the warmest days of the summer. The one thing which was the same was the high standard of the tennis!

Saturday’s highlight was the Men’s Final won by David Jones with a stunningly impressive performance. Almost as good was the U18 Boys Final where the hitting was nearly as powerful as David’s with many long fiercely-contested rallies.

Sunday’s highlight was without doubt the U10 Boys final played with junior green balls. The only other concessions to their age were having the net slightly lowered and allowing a sit-down after each game rather than just at the change of ends, very necessary on this hot day. There were plenty of long rallies with deep controlled shots from both players. They got a very warm and well-deserved round of applause from all the veteran finalists when they finished.
