MIXED DOUBLES FINAL

In good weather and a before a small audience of members, the
Mixed Doubles was played on Sunday and ran to 3 sets.
It was a very tight and close match for 2 sets.
The third set saw Russel and Anita gain a leading advantage and win the Match convincingly.

Well played to the Champions and Runners up.

Russel and Anita, 2013 Mixed Doubles Champs

In almost perfect conditions 4 finals were played on Sunday morning before a good number of members who saw some enjoyable rallies played in a very sporting manner .

Womens Singles:            Glynnis Gillot defeated Anita Prendergrast  6 – 0 ; 6 -2;
Mens Veterans Singles:  Mike Wolffe defeated Gus Millner  6 – 3 ; 6 – 1;
Mens Open Singles:       Tobie Mynhardt defeated Shiraz Cerfontein 6- 2 ; 6 – 1
Womens Doubles:          Wendy Fredman & Glynnis Gillot defeated Marianne Wicht & Claire von Turenhout 6-1 ; 6-2
The Bring and Braai which followed, could have better supported, but those who stayed had a most enjoyable time.

 

Finally, please give some thought ( a proposal will be put forward in due course) as to whether FUTURE CHAMPIONSHIPS  should be restricted to just  2 or 3 weeks and NO LONGER or, if extended, what format is preferred.

We hope to arrange another BOX LEAGUE to be played June/July – will call for entries shortly.  

 

 All the best Clifton Committee
