Sunday 17th May saw the Mens Open Doubles Tournament 2026. 10 pairs entered from across all 6 men's teams with some great tennis played throughout. The final was also a great contest which was eventually won by the pre tournament favourites Will Armitage & George Watts 6-3. However, the recently new pairing of Ben Scapens & Oliver Yates made it a great watch for the spectators who were left as the clock ticked towards 7.30pm!!
Our new President Andy Armitage was on hand to present the trophy to Will & George. Congratulations to all 4 finalists in the photo with Andy Armitage & organiser Richard Meadowcroft, shown also with the runners up, Ben & Oliver.
Big thanks to all players & supporters who saw some great tennis on a rain free afternoon/evening!
