Ben Smith claimed the<br />
Ellesmere Open singles<br />
tennis title at Lincoln on<br />
Sunday.<br />
Smith beat defending<br />
champion Wilton Atkins<br />
(Rolleston) 7-5 6-4.<br />
Smith had cruised<br />
past Dunsandel’s Simon<br />
Barnett in the semi-finals<br />
6-1 6-0, while Atkins had<br />
a similar victory over clubmate<br />
Ryan Vincent 6-1 6-2.<br />
Smith had been in strong<br />
form as one of the leading<br />
lights for Rolleston-<br />
Killinchy in the club competition<br />
before Christmas<br />
and he will be relied upon<br />
again when the competition<br />
gets under way again<br />
this Saturday after a fourweek<br />
break.<br />

WEST MELTON’S Tegan<br />
Fitzsimon and her horse<br />
Windermere Cappuccino<br />
held their nerve to win<br />
the National Grand Prix<br />
Horse Championship at<br />
the National Equestrian<br />
Centre at McLeans Island,<br />
Christchurch, on Sunday.<br />
The pressure was therefore<br />
on Fitzsimon for the<br />
last round and there was<br />
ON FORM: Rolleston-<br />
Killinchy’s Ben Smith<br />
was too good for a<br />
small field to claim the<br />
men’s singles title at<br />
the Ellesmere Open at<br />
Lincoln on Sunday.<br />
play-off for third against<br />
Barnett 6-2 6-4.<br />
Atkins and Southbridge’s<br />
Hamish Walker combined<br />
to win the men’s doubles<br />
A grade final with a 6-3<br />
6-0 victory over the<br />
Rolleston duo of Vincent<br />
and James Penny.<br />
John Rodley and Roger<br />
Langford from Hornby<br />
won the B grade men’s<br />
doubles with a 6-2 6-3 win<br />
over Dunsandel duo Sam<br />
and Simon Barnett.<br />
Southbridge combination<br />
Bernadette Carr and<br />
Carey Barnett prevailed<br />
in the women’s B grade<br />
doubles final with a 7-5<br />
6-4 triumph of the Hornby<br />
combination of Sophie<br />
Lancaster and Elaine<br />
Rodley.<br />
Carr and Hamish<br />
Walker were victorious in<br />
the B grade mixed doubles<br />
with a 9-2 win over Langford<br />
and Dunsandel’s April<br />
Barnett.<br />
No women’s A grade<br />
singles or doubles competitions<br />
were played due to a<br />
lack of entries.<br />
Fitzsimon rides to another victory<br />
no room for error.<br />
Wellington’s Sophie<br />
Scott and Lakota had<br />
jumped a clear round in<br />
the fifth and final round,<br />
so Fitzsimon, who was<br />
last to go, knew she had to<br />
deliver another clear round<br />
to win.<br />
Fitzsimon and her horse<br />
nicknamed Vollie delivered<br />
to defend the title they won<br />
12 months ago.<br />
“There was a bit of pressure<br />
on going into the last<br />
round but Vollie pushed<br />
on.<br />
“He is just phenomenal,<br />
He gives me 110 per cent<br />
each time,’’ Fitzsimon said.<br />
The victory comes three<br />
weeks after the 29-year-old<br />
notched back-to-back wins<br />
in the World Cup Series.<br />
She continues to ponder<br />
whether she will compete<br />
at the world finals in Las<br />
Vegas in April.<br />
