Last weekend marked the 25th year of the LRTA Mixed Handicap Doubles Tournament at Seacourt! It was an exciting weekend filled with thrilling tennis matches. A special thank you to Chris Halliwell of Belcher Addison Solicitors for generously sponsoring the tournament, including the welcome drinks party on Saturday evening.
The tournament featured a mix of Seacourt players and concluded with an outstanding victory by our own Jon Cobon and Tory Weaver. They triumphed over Jane Taylor (Petworth) and Ian Hawkey (Prested) in the final after successfully navigating the rounds, quarter-finals, and semi-finals. Congratulations to them!
We appreciate our members for allowing us to use their courts over the weekend and for supporting the tournament, as well as hosting some of the players. Once again, Seacourt was bustling with activity, creating a happy and vibrant atmosphere in the Club.
A big thank you to Drew, who took on the huge task of marking all the matches with his usual impeccable skill and humor! We also want to acknowledge Fiona, our chef, who had a busy weekend preparing meals for players and spectators alike. Her fabulous tournament dinner on Saturday was a highlight.
Finally, a heartfelt thanks to Alex Garside and Viv Dawes for their hard work in organizing the tournament.
