Trip worthwhile for winners

LITTLETONS staged its annual Open Mixed Doubles Tournament, sponsored by Badsey & Littletons Spar Shop, last Sunday.

Fourteen pairs were in action with one travelling from Nottingham to take part and pit their talents against local duos.

Players played a round-robin event before the pairs were entered in a knockout tournament of one set with a tie-break at 5-5. There were some close and tense matches before the finalists were decided.

Carol Roberts and Tim Page from Stratford faced Notting-ham's Isabelle Wild and Geoff Wallace who ran out 6-3 winners after a tremendous match played in glorious sunshine.
