2018 Tournament
The Finals day of the Pavilion& Avenue 2018 tournament took place on a perfect summers day on Sunday July 1st. Organised by Julie Hobbs and Adam Webb the event featured both the Junior Club Championship and the Seniors. Never mind that some of our high performance players were not available – this gave the opportunity for others to have their day in the sun.
The one tragic absence was Andy Spence who very sadly died a month before. Andy was a consistent winner of the Vets categories in both the singles and the doubles. Patrick Wynniatt Husey gave a very moving speech on Andy’s style and achievements over the years. In memory of Andy – a special Vets Cup has been given to the Club by his family.
In the seniors section Tom BT won the men’s open singles beating Jake in a classy match that showed how tennis should be played. Bearing in mind that both boys have yet to see their sixteenth birthday this is testimony to the coaching standards and their abilities to beat much older players. Amanda Atkins triumphed in a gruelling Ladies Singles whilst Gill, Traolach and Steve Davies both walked away with two trophies each. Kate and Patrick won an extremely tight and emotional mixed doubles final against Big Al and Gill. Carmel and Des both had the audacity to beat the chairman and his Mrs in the 100 + trophy whilst even older players picked up a pot without the intervention of First Aid or a short nap in between sets.
In the junior section Henry Hughes was the star of the day picking up no less than three trophies for singles and doubles. The same with Thomas Pollard who also won three trophies in the older age categories.
The day was expertly run by Malcolm, Ann and Josephine who laid on all the drinks and catering and finally sat down at six o’clock for a well earned Pimms.
As usual our President Alan and Andrea gave out the awards with their usual charm and magnificent efficiency.
