Finals Day

September 14th was our tennis finals day, the biggest event of the year for our club.   Over the previous 3 months all the club tournaments have been in progress – this incorporates 20+ categories with the main “Open” competitions accompanied by age group categories ranging from under 8s to veterans.   The finals of all these competitions were played on Finals Day in an extravaganza of tennis, with matches starting from 9am and carrying on until late afternoon.   

The action on the tennis courts was followed by our presentation evening when all the silverware (78 trophies and medals!) were given out to the winners and runners up, plus some special awards for most improved players followed by food and drinks.  It was a fantastic but long day with the bar closing at midnight!

Congratulatios to our main tournament winners:

Ladies Doubles - Alison and Devmini, for the fourth year in a row

Mens Doubles - Ajit and Paresh, equalling the club record as a pair for winning for a fifth time

Mixed Doubles - Ajit and Alison, beating the club record as a pair for winning for a seventh time

Ladies Singles - Martina, a first time winner

Mens Singles - Dhruv, a first time winner

A special call out to Alison who has now won the most main tournament trophies (26) than anyone gooing back to when our records began 73 years ago in 1951.
