Wimbledon tournament raises money for The Dan Maskell Trust


"Wellington Tennis Club hosted their annual Wimbledon Tournament where 20 adults and 20 juniors participated with many onlookers supporting from the sidelines. Players were seeded with a junior and adult partnering each other playing doubles against another pair.  Partners changed after 5 games so that there were a different 4 on court each time. All results were collated by format organisers Jane and Chris Hampden who did a sterling job maintaining the flow of matches. 
Lydia Mitchell won the Junior gold medal whilst Harry Stafford won silver. New member, Ian Davies, and Ben Thorne, whose wife and 3 sons also played, were joint Adult winners. "
"Everyone  was impressed with the standard of play from our juniors and it was a thoroughly enjoyable day with many new members joining in with the fun. Many teenagers are now playing some matches in our Senior teams and are playing very well." 
A raffle raised £68 in aid of The Dan Maskell Tennis Trust that assists wheelchair players. 8 members have been fortunate to win a pair of Wimbledon tickets through the LTA's ballot so some very excited adults and juniors will be enjoying their days out in coming week."Someone has won a pair for the Men's Finals Day and I'm looking forward to hearing about their wonderful experience," Sue added.
