They think its all over - it is now.

The rain held off mostly and now the 2013 tournament is successfully completed. Just the mens doubles reverse draw final still to be played due to injury. This was my first year of organising, and it is a big relief that its all over. I must firstly give a big thanks to the many who have help me over the last few weeks, especially Simon and Sue who have provided not only practical help, but a fair bit of counselling when needed.

It looked like everyone has enjoyed playing, watching and eating. It is good to see a few new faces playing and hopefully they enjoyed the experience. It is a mark of what a friendly, inclusive and vibrant club we have that players of all ages and abilities are happy to take part in the same event.

We have seen some hard fought matches and some excellent performances. The doubles events were dominated by the Khans and Ashmores,with Georgie and Sammy winning the Ladies, Hassan and Hussein winning the mens, and Georgie and Hussein teaming up to win the mixed. Hassan and Hussein's win in the mens doubles was their 10th in a row which is an outstanding achievement. Other multiple champions were Anna, Gary and Paul Handford. 

We also saw some excellent spectating, with Dennis giving a master class on how we need to run faster, hit harder and make no mistakes. All take note.

Finaly, I'm sure that everyone will join me in thanking Louise and everyone who has helped in the kitchen or behind the bar. 

Andy.
