Throughout the summer, near 50 members of Ipplepen Tennis Club took part in their first ever club championships, which climaxed with a finals day played in warm October sunshine.

Players participated in a number of events which resulted in competitive and closely fought matches.

Finals day results: men’s singles – Mat Doye beat Tom Rainbow 6-2, 6-4; ladies’ singles – Ellie Pollock beat Elizabeth McDonald 6-2, 6-3; men’s doubles – Mat Doye and Callum King beat Jamie Winslow and Steve Forsey 7-6, 6-4; ladies’ doubles – Lesley Maynard and Paula Forsey beat Alison Jensan and Helen Holroyd 7-6, 6-3; mixed doubles – Kate Hooper and Jon Hossack beat Andrew and Lesley Maynard 6-2, 6-4.

The club’s thanks go to head coach Madeline Ramsey for organising a successful tournament and finals day.
