If you didn't come to the handicap finals you certainly missed out on a good day. The men's doubles was a real nailbiter, lasting nearly almost 2 1/2 hours!
Steve Jarrett braved the rain to run his "older junior" tournament to start the day off. The young juniors competition unfortunately had to be called off as it was just too wet. However, the 15+ age group are made of stern stuff and managed to complete their competition despite the damp. This was an amazing experience for some of them who have never played in a competitive situation before.
