On Saturday and Sunday 2nd/3rd February 2013 twelve members contested the 60+ Handicap Category Tournament at CURTC. Three keenly fought groups produced clear winners in Nicholas Worsnop, Bernie Carpenter and Emily Brady, and a deserved best runner-up in David Hope.
On Sunday the opening game in both semi-finals was won by the eventual losers and in the final Emily Brady beat Bernie Carpenter by 6-2 to take the opening Category Tournament of 2013. A good day’s play for Emily, winning five sets of tennis in 5 hours on Sunday.
