The day was warm and dry and everyone was able to enjoy their picnics in the grounds at lunchtime and iced lollies were very welcome.

The finalists were Vanessa Busek and Tim Young (Midhurst TC) and Pauline McBrown and Martin Hunter (Liphook TC).

It was a good match and the final set resulted in a convincing 6-1 win to McBrown and Hunter.

To celebrate the day’s tennis the club held a barbecue in the evening.
