Sunday September 4 saw the annual Mary Middleton Mixed Doubles Handicap Tournament held at the Terrace Lawn Tennis Club in Boston Spa. The weather gods were smiling as the afternoon kept dry and with the sun often shining it really was a splendid occasion. Hosted by Delia and Ian wells who put on both a tremendous competition and a fabulous afternoon tea, there was a good number of players representing the Wetherby club. A series of group games were played before the main final saw Wetherby chairman Steve Jones and his partner Katie Draper from Starbeck face Dee Nolan and Wetherby men’s first team captain Roger Fawcus. In a close affair Nolan and Fawcus ran out narrow 4-3 winners to lift the trophy.
