Serving up success

- Murray Spooner

Kirkhill Lawn Tennis Club enjoyed an exciting day as they held their club championsh­ip finals earlier this month.

Sixteen events were played throughout Saturday, September 17 to decide the winners and runners up.

Whilst play continued on the court, spectators and competitor­s were able to grab a bite to eat and drink along with catching up with the Davis Cup on the television in the clubhouse.

After the day’s play, a barbecue went down a treat as everyone soaked up the best of the good weather.

Club president Jacqueline Clark said: “It was a really lovely day with the sun which did help. Everybody played very well.

“The mens doubles was played at the same time as the Davis Cup final but it was a very exciting match. It went right up to the last set.

“It was a good day and we enjoyed a barbecue with people coming to watch and enjoy the atmosphere.”

The medals will be given out at a party night in the next few weeks.
