MENS SINGLES
In the top half of the draw, Richard Ward claimed his place in the semis with a straight sets
win against Panos Kontogiannis. Dave Winship also progressed to the last four with a straight
sets win against Neil Douglas, one of the club's most improved juniors. The semi-final started
in bright sunshine and temperatures in the eighties and finished in fading light when Dave
finally overcame Richard 6-4 2-6 6-3.
In the bottom half of the draw, Charles Freeman recorded a good quarter-final win over Paul
Flood, and Loyd Parks recovered from a set and 0-2 down to beat Trevor Gray in a twilight
marathon. Charles prevailed 6-3 7-5 in the semi-final.
The final was played on a bright, breezy afternoon on September 15th. Dave asked quite a
few questions, but Charles came up with all the answers. It was an almost faultless display
from Charles, who won 6-1 6-1 in an hour and twenty minutes.

The match swung Kate's way at 4-4 in the first set. After securing the first set, she relaxed
and played some very convincing tennis throughout the rest of the match.
