Winscombe Tennis Club was the proud host of the leading North Somerset Ladies' Doubles Tournament on April 14.

Great games were played under weak sunshine and a dash of breeze, a relief from recent rainy weather.

The clubs in attendance included Backwell, Brent Knoll, Bridgwater, Cheddar, Congresbury, Taunton, Trull, Wedmore and Winscombe.

It provided a memorable experience with five matches of nine games each.

After a well-prepared lunch by Denise Landau, the finals saw a repeat of the previous year’s dramatic end.

Juliet Knight of Cheddar and Clare Gass of Wedmore clinched the set, beating Carole Beach and Sue Williamson of Bridgwater at 5-all.

The club extends its gratitude to all players for their high standard of tennis and the participants who contributed to this enjoyable event.
