Our winter finals day was one of the best in recent years. The quality of tennis was high and most finals were closely contested. One highlight was the mens doubles when Ashley and Ted withstood the challenge of the young stars Alex and Tom in order to win their 12th Wilton mens doubles title together. At the end of the day Martin Howley and Richard Jones battled for nearly three hours in the Mens 55 Singles. Sixty stroke rallies were commonplace before Martin finally prevailed - 21 years after he won the Mens 45 Singles!
