THE MARION OLIVER TOURNAMENT 2018

On Saturday 30th June 2018 the rescheduled Marion Oliver took place and in a total reverse of the last attempt which was abandoned due to heavy rain, the sun shone throughout & temperatures soared.

14 players braved the heat to play 6 rounds of very close tennis.  The outright winners with 22 points were Karin Lambert & Hilary Marsh and they were awarded the trophies & a bottle of wine each.  There was a tie for 2nd place with Nigel Matthews & partner Christine Knight & David Freeman & Jan Butchers finishing with 17 points each.  In an exciting 1 game decider it went literally to the wire as Jan & David won on a sudden death deuce point with a ball that hit the net top & dribbled over.  They won a box of biscuits each.

Well done to all players - a great afternoons' tennis
