Kilmacolm Tennis Club<br />
A stunning day for the Kilmacolm Tennis Club Championships saw some very competitive<br />
matches played in front of the club’s biggest ever crowd.<br />
First up was the Gents Doubles with our youngest ever finalists Zander Davies, 15, and Ben<br />
Wilson, 18, up against the holders - Ali Robertson and Graham Marr. Zander and Ben put up<br />
a decent fight, before succumbing in two sets.<br />
Ali Robertson was the holder of the Gents’ Singles title as well, and the final was a repeat<br />
of last year’s epic against Roy Fraser. During a thrilling match, when a tie break seemed<br />
inevitable, Ali managed to win it 7-5 and maintaining the same high intensity and quality of<br />
tennis, he took the second set as well.<br />
The Ladies Doubles final pitted Freda Robertson and club secretary Sian Nicol against a<br />
pair of former champions from the ladies 1st team. An “A. Murray” coming back from injury<br />
to win a title, is the stuff of Scottish tennis dreams. In fact both Ann Murray and Liz Moisin<br />
were returning to competition this year after long lay-offs. The match ended in a two set<br />
victory for Liz and Ann.<br />
In the Super Senior Ladies Doubles competition, Sian Nicol and Rosemary Nott beat Pauline<br />
Macklin and Heather Wylie in two sets. The Ladies singles Championship was awarded to<br />
its youngest ever winner – the talented 13-year-old Eleanor Cochran.<br />
There was a fitting finale to the day. Outgoing captain, Marion Wardell was paired with<br />
men’s captain Roy Fraser. Up against them, Ali Robertson was paired with his significant<br />
other, Kirsten Begg. In the end youth triumphed and after a cracking final set, Kirsten and<br />
Ali were crowned Mixed Doubles Champions.<br />
Congratulations are due to all the finalists – and their families! New members are invited to<br />
