President’s Cup – Saturday 20 July 2024

Eight men and eight ladies played today (Saturday, 20 July) to compete for the President’s Cup. It was a brilliant day with the weather behaving for a change, and everyone brought refreshments to share. There was some very good play, with the finals eventually being won by Number 1 seeds Martyn Taplin (appropriately our current President) and Chris Bailey, who defeated Number 2 seeds Rick Lim and Daphne Lunnon 6-3 in a great final. Consolation winners were Debbie Lane and Scott Cooper, who defeated Michael Wilde and Caroline White 4-3 in a very close final. Thanks to all who helped tidy up – much appreciated.

The final trophy match of the year will be played on Sunday, 6 October, which will be the Jim Kitson Mixed Doubles trophy. Details later in the year.

Here are some pictures from the day.
