Winners: Eric Wilkins, JPS, Charles Foster. Runners-Up: Brigitte Claney, Kim Dudson.
32 players spent Cup Day at the tennis club. We were pleased to include and welcome two visitors from the UK: Phil Beard (Lord’s) and Eric Wilkins (Jesmond Dene). RMTC members perhaps over-extended the hospitality to Eric, who ended up as part of the winning pair with Charles Foster.
Eric and Charles played a very steady and determined game to defeat the highest handicapped pair of the day, Brigitte Claney & Kim Dudson, in the final. Despite the large odds given by the men, the result was never really in doubt – 6/2, in the end. The winners had previously scored an epic and highly meritorious win over Carr father & son, this time getting plenty of handicap, coming back from well behind to win 6/5. Kim & Brigitte had beaten Quentin Clark and Alice Wheeler in their semi-final, with the losers’ intensive recent preparation together in the end proving insufficient.
Daniel Williams, from Ballarat, won the Cup sweepstake ($500), paused long enough to ensure that a cheque was made out to himself rather than the money being credited to his (father’s) club account, then fled the scene without buying any of us a drink…
