Our American Tournaments continue to be popular. Maybe it is the mix and match format where pairings are decided at random each round, or maybe it is the lovely teas, or maybe just an opportunity to play some competitive tennis in a more relaxed social setting. This year, we only held three of them as the one scheduled for the early May public holiday was a total wash-out.
Here are the results

1st | 2nd | 3rd | |
April 1st | Cliff Church | Chris Cole | James Carlisle Mark Hill Mike Thornley Paul Tippins |

Our August tournament runs on slightly different rules and players are competing for the Albany Trophy.
Well done to Diane Doyle, playing an American for the first time, and Chris Cole as winners.
