Quality Tennis Served Up on Doubles Day in Beverley

Hard on the heels of a very successful open day, Beverley & East Riding Lawn Tennis Club organised their first mixed doubles tournament of the season in perfect conditions at the Seven Corners Lane courts.

Twenty four players took part in two round robin groups before the group leaders played out a final knockout phase to decide the winners. Paul Robinson partnered by Sue Fuller and alternate Dorothy Mackley took the first prize.

Runners up were Stuart Brown and Nicky Brown with Mike Hunsley and Jackie Harris taking third place.

Tournament organiser Neil Mitchell praised the high standard of play shown by the participants and has agreed to repeat the competition in six weeks time.
