On 22nd June our annual tennis tournament culminated with our finals day. Read on for report and full  results.

 
Dimi Koronakos won his first men's singles title, Maddie Lightfoot defended the ladies singles, the evergreen Judith Allnutt and Jenny Webster won another ladies doubles title. Probably the match of the day saw Alex Haddad and Andrew Ring defeat Josh Sapwell and Phill Casserley in the men's doubles event in a tense championship tiebreak!. Alex and Jenny backed this up with a win in the Mixed Doubles.

We hade 35 finals played on the day from the junior to senior events in amazing weather with a great turnout of over 200 members. Well done to everyone who entered and those who made their way to a final!

The David Lidderdale Trophy

Every finals day the club presents an award to a junior, The David Lidderdale trophy. The David Lidderdale trophy recognises a particular junior member and their achievements on the court and off over the past 12 months. David played at the club for a number of years, was a fully active member, represented all the men’s teams including the 1st team. He paid great interest in junior development, and always encouraged and indeed partnered juniors when they made the step up to senior tennis. The trophy named after him is not necessarily for the best junior, or best results, but a junior who has worked hard/been committed to their tennis, has been an active club member who joins in all aspects of the junior & senior sections. This year is more special as we have Julia David’s daughter presenting the trophy.

This years' winner is an active member, in fact hardly a day passes by when she is not here having a friendly hit, playing box matches playing in our junior and senior teams or assisting with coaching. She was the unanimous choice - well done Edie Ashley!

Below is a summary of all the senior winners from this year (and dating back to 2014).
