Annual Club Finals Day Ends Summer Season  – Results and Photos

The 2024 Summer Season came to a close on Sunday 29th September with the finals of our Annual Club Competition.  The day was attended by over 70 competitors and spectators, who enjoyed an outstanding day of tennis, with a social tournament in the morning, followed by five finals in the afternoon. 

In the morning, 16 members played some excellent tennis in a format that involved three box matches followed by two finals for the top 8 players.  The first final was won by Nathan Fovargue and Katie Hodgkins, and the second final by Paul McDonald and Josh Hodgkins.
