Veterans’ Finals Day
Saturday 29th May saw the Vets Tournament come to a nail-biting end with three of the matches going down to the third set.
The singles matches kicked off the day with
Ros Chesser defeating defending champion
Hilary Austin (7-6, 6-2). In a match lasting nearly three hours,
Neil Bradshaw defeated
John Howells (6-4, 5-7, 6-4) to take home the trophy.
In the ladies’ doubles,
Lucy Hamilton and
Susie Taylor came through a tight second set to defeat
Hilary Austin and
Heather Byrne (6-3, 7-6). The men’s doubles was played following the conclusion of the singles, meaning John had to step back on court after his epic singles match. This was another three setter, finishing as the sun set.
Duncan Tullis and
Bill Austin were victorious: defeating
John Howells and
Andrew Sanders (6-7, 7-5, 6-3).
The final match was the mixed doubles. Not to be outdone by the preceding matches, this one also went to three sets.
Andrew Sanders and
Lucy Hamilton defeated
Bill Austin and
Karen Watson (6-2, 4-6, 7-5).
Well done to all competitors and a big thank you to the hardcore fans that stayed until the end.
Tim Austin
