NINETEEN players and a handful of spectators braved the mizzle for the last tournament of the year at Bude Tennis Club on Saturday, December 16.
A club spokesperson said: “It was great to see so many members partaking in the mixed doubles Hurlingham, and for once we had more men than ladies, which was excellent news!
“The leading men were, in third place, John Brooks, in second place, Paul Ferris, and the overall winner and huge congratulations to Adrian Riddock!
“The leading women were, in second place, Sharon Box, and in joint first place and huge congratulations to Joan Coney and Sarah Grey!
“At the conclusion of the tournament, mince pies, yule log and other festive treats were enjoyed in the clubhouse just as the rain was settling in for the afternoon.”
The club hope to get back on to the courts in the coming days after the poor recent weather.
