Four tennis tournaments have been contested in 4 weeks on the courts situated in the sports area of the Campoamor golf club.
Saturday 12th July- World doubles event. This event is run every month for 12 of the better players available on the Southern Costa Blanca. The event involves a number of matches played with random partners with ‘world ranking’ points being awarded according to the standard of the tournament and the number of games won. Results can be seen on www.tennisandpadel.com.
Results- 1st- Steve Durie 28pts
2nd = Jan McClaughlin 25pts
Andy McClaughlin 25pts.
The husband and wife team always finish very closely positioned and there is hardly any difference in their ranking scores.
Friday 18th July- Inaugural Womens doubles. This event was the first of its kind at Campoamor. A group of women players were visiting from the David Lloyd club in Swindon and the 5 of them were the impetus for arranging the 16 player tournament.
After the preliminary rounds of play, the top 4 scoring women participated in a one set final with the pairings drawn at random. A closely fought final saw a victory for the Irish pairing of Lillian Meagher and Sharon Ward beating Pam Uden and Gillian Pang by 6-4.
Friday 25th July- American tournament. This is a mixed doubles event with partners changing each round and the top two men and women, partners drawn at random, contesting a one set final. Results- Lillian Meagher and Peter Pang bt Sharon Ward and Par Sundberg 6-0.
Saturday 2nd August- World Doubles. Results 1st- Steve Durie 31pts
2nd –Pam Uden 27 pts
The event was the last before Pam and Paul Uden leave to live in England. They have both been regular competitors in the world doubles events and it was appropriate that both players finished in the top three in this event.
Thank you to all those who participated and congratulations to all the winners, particularly, two times winners- Lillian Meagher and Steve Durie.
