In the Open Ladies’s event, both Emma Mastin and Alice Gamman reached the semi-finals and, although both missed out on a finals position, both played well.

A group of Boston members played in the under 18 boys competition, although it was the visiting players who took the honours in this event. Competing were Hayden Bingham, William Cutforth, Lucas East and William Cheer.

Hayden Bingham and Wiliam Cutforth took part in the under 16 boys.

Isabel Wookey and Lois Boothby were in the under 14 girls’s event and Isabel finished in third place, narrowly missing a final place.

The over 35 mens’s event was made up almost entirely of Boston Tennis Club players – Owen Jary, Gary Fitzjohn, Terry Mastin, Phillippe Servonat, Phil Cosgriff, Larry Churchward and James Newton, the latter the deserved winner.
