On a cold and wet Tuesday evening, one or two brave individuals turned up to compete for the Captains day trophy. A few other fools arrived for club night to discover they were in with a shout for the coveted title (the organiser sensibly stayed in the dry club house). Terry Carter decided to go back home to watch football in the dry and this left the perfect number for two doubles matches.
The eight people, 2 ladies and 6 men, played a number of set, both men's doubles, and mixed doubles. After what I am told were hard fought games the ladies winner was Alison Dunleavy, and the men's winner was Simon Cunnigham. Special mention should go the David Buckle who lost a close race, ended in the runners up position (they spun a racket).
Well done to Simon and Alison.
Here's to a dryer tournament next year.

We had a turnout of four ladies and four men so ideal for a few rounds of mixed doubles. We played three sets of nine games, swapping partners after each set.
Dawn was the clear winner for the ladies, and the runner up was Sally. The men's winner had to be decided by a five game singles play- off between Roger and Daniel, whose scores were tied after the three rounds of doubles. Daniel was the eventual winner after a close battle. We ended with tea and biscuits, and all agreed we had had a very enjoyable afternoon's tennis.
