Saturday saw our annual finals day for the Handicap tournament. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, the men’s doubles match could not take place, but the day was a fantastic one nevertheless.
We are delighted to have two new singles champions, three junior members amongst our champions, and a number of finalists that have never got to a final’s day before. It just shows that it really is a tournament that anyone can win!
A huge congratulations to our 2022 champions:
Ladies Singles: Karen Watson (-15/0) defeated Louise Whyte (0/+15) 10-0
Mens’ Singles: Euan Waite (-30) defeated Francis Fernandes (-30) 10-7
Ladies Doubles: Susie and Hannah Taylor (-30) defeated Magda D’Ingeo and Elaine Hargreaves (-30) 10-8
Men’s Doubles: Phil and William Elson (0/+15) defeated Simon Foster and Tim Davies (-40/-30) (w/o)
Mixed Doubles: Lucy and Duncan Hamilton (-40/-30) defeated Francis Fernandes and Emily Man (-15/0) 10-4
We must say a huge thank you to everyone who made the day so successful: To Tim, Hilary, Hugh, Marcus and Graham for being wonderful umpires; to Jackie, Kelly and Bill who ran the delicious BBQ afterwards; to Catherine for arranging for the grass courts to get cut and the lines drawn fresh for the finals (even though we didn’t use the grass courts in the end); to Paul B (our fabulous President) and Tim for awarding the trophies to the finalists; and of course to Tim for organising the whole tournament and draw, a massive job and one very much appreciated.
