Saturday : A great first day for our Finals weekend, despite the weather. Two excellent wins for Josh in the U 12s and U14s boys singles, similarly two wins for Amy Palmer in the Ladies Singles and then with brother Michael in the Mixed Doubles. This was a gripping match with two tie breaks ; Michael sealed each set with a blistering ace. Ladies Doubles was played in steady drizzle but still full of amazing rallies. Sam Rush and Jane Baldwin could not quite force a decider set, leaving Sam Williamson and Leila Warwick as the winner.

And by the way, Josh warmed up for his two finals by playing a football match … as you do when you are young!

Sunday : eleven trophies to be won with great play in them all, spanning from Under 10s to Over 70s. Only two matches went to three sets but they all featured close rallies and good entertainment. David Jones again produced a stunning performance to win the Mens Singles and the Mens Doubles with father, Alistair. It was good to see some new names on the vets trophies : Mark Elliott and Stuart Lamb, Sally Charlton and Pete Smith, Wendy Day, Leila Warwick. A fitting end to the season.
