HRTC Weekly Update | 4th October
 
HRTC National D Grade 2016


This year’s National D Grade event was held in two divisions - with two Plate events also running in conjunction with the main events. As one of our more competitive tournaments for the handicap 40+ bracket - the stage was set for some big matches.
 
The Division 1 event saw some terrific tennis - but it was Will Joscelyne that proved the most consistent throughout the weekend and he remained steady under increasing pressure - taking out the final 6/1 6/2 against a determined David Hook.
 
Division 1 match results:

  • James Theodore def Paul Dunne 6/3 6/5
  • Stephen Pinkus def Tony Barret 6/2 6/3
  • Will Joscelyne def James Theodore 6/0 6/2
  • David Hook def Stephen Pinkus 4/6 6/5 6/4
  • Will Joscelyne def David Hook 6/1 6/2
Winner Will Joscelyne & Runner Up David Hook

Division 2 match results

  • Tom McAuley def Janet Thorp 6/4 6/2
  • Christine Stirling def Andrew Brough 6/1 3/6 6/5
  • Christine Stirling def Tom McAuley 6/4 3/6 6/3
Winner Christine Stirling & Runner Up Tom McAuley
Our two plate event finals saw Paul Dunne def Tony Barret 6/5 6/1 and Andrew Brough received a walkover from a not so well Janet Thorp.
Well done to everyone that had a go in the event - and congratulations to all our winners over the weekend!!

 
Winner Paul Dunne & Runner Up Tony Barrett
