WHILE Kyle Edmund was sealing victory for Great Britain in the Davis Cup, Wollaston Tennis Club members were competing hard in scorching temperatures at their Jubilee Tournament.

The event took place last Saturday afternoon at the Prestwood Drive Club.

The mixed tournament took the form of an American style event with qualifying rounds run on a round robin basis, ensuring that each pair played a short set against all other pairings. Each match was the best of eight games, with each pair playing six matches.

With the sun beating down, and some high quality tennis played, the players all competed over a three hour period for a place in the one set final.

The final saw Alan Hughes and Jane Armstrong beating Shaun Ryder and Chris Armstrong 7-5, in a deciding tie break. There was never more than one game in it throughout, it really could not have been closer.

Chairman John Cutler said: "This is another busy year for the club. We have men's, ladies and mixed teams playing matches in the local leagues, and we have also run a number of tournaments within the club. In addition, our Club Championships qualifying rounds have just started.

"The Jubilee tournament is a mixed tournament, and is open to all members to take part. The weather was kind to us, and all the players very much enjoyed competing in the event."

The club will also host children from Belarus as part of Chernobyl Children's Lifeline visit in two weeks time.
