Post-Match Report

10 finals were played in breezy but dry weather on the grass courts. All matches featured a good standard of tennis throughout, holding the interest of a large number of spectators. A very fine home-made afternoon tea was laid on by Nicki Boddy and Anne Simpson. And in the evening, chefs Shaun and Jack Freeman produced a well-received barbecue. Special thanks to Elizabeth Meatyard for a fabulous array of salads.

Trophies were presented after the barbecue.
