This years John Asher men’s doubles and Peggy Doherty ladies’ doubles handicapped tournaments were hosted by RydeKings at Ryde Sports Centre. The tournaments were well supported with 10 men’s and 7 ladies pairs. The men’s games were played in two groups resulting in the first semi-final being an all RydeKings event with Group A winners Chris Massey and Iain Lawrie coming up against Group B runners up Steve Stevens and Clint Gardener. The second semi-final saw Group A runners-up Lewis Insley and George Utteridge face Melvyn Price and Anthony Boon. The Group A pairs struggled to overcome their large handicaps sending both Group B pairings through to the final. Clint and Steve took the final in two sets 21-15, 21-20.
The Peggy Doherty was played as a single round robin event, taking just over 5 ½ hours. Luck of the draw resulted in the last of the 21 games being the decider with Sandra Dye and Helen Foss, who had not lost a single set, playing Denise Insley and Karin Murrant who had only dropped 2 points. The latter won the first set 21-19, this put the two pairs equal on points for the day to make the final set ‘winner takes all’. Denise and Karin came out victorious winning 21-13.
Well done and thank you to all who entered, making the tournament so successful.
RydeKings were pleased to see an impressive home team turnout making up 11 of the 34 entrants.
