Come rain, come shine!

The Lawn Tennis “Men’s Doubles” matches were dramatically fought out over the long weekend 8, 9 and 10th July.

Aptly coinciding with the Wimbledon “Men’s Finals” on Sunday 10th, the ultimate accolade was won by Joe Dodgson and Vince Venus.

They slogged their way through three sets and searing temperatures to win against Hugh Latham and Paul Weaver, in what proved to be an extremely challenging finale, with both sides trading blistering first serves intermixed with exhaustive rallies… that delighted and enthralled the spectators!

The match was expertly umpired by Matt Boulton.

The Plate was won by Ian Collier and Graham Cottle, beating Mark Mc Murrugh and Tom Dipple in a close two set match.

Many thanks go to Caroline MacDowell and Hugh Latham, of the Lawn Tennis committee, for scheduling the event… and to all those players who entered.

The next Lawn Tennis Tournament is the “Parent and Child” knock-out challenge.
