In the Veterans Mixed Doubles final Phil Boyer and Janet Clayton had a 6-3 win over Geoff Smith and Helen Boyer while in the Open Mixed Doubles Neil Blincow and Karine Sehn beat Ludo Blackburn and Jilly Blincow. In a game where love literally means nothing one can only hope that both Phil and Neil can survive defeating their wives on the tennis court!

Meanwhile, the Men’s Doubles trophy was won by Nick Wright and Phil Boyer who won 6-0 against Scott Carson and Marc McNaughton and the Ladies Doubles trophy saw Hannah Skellern and Helen Boyer win 6-4 against Karine Sehn and Jacqui Mitchell.
