The Wilton winter club tournaments finals were played on a bright Spring day on April 11th. The most successful player was Christa Gecheva who won three finals including two excellent close matches against Club Coach, Kim Freebairn. The mens doubles was another fiercely fought match resulting in a close win for the new pairing of Ashley Balm and Daryl Eaton. The mens singles was won for the first time by Tom Coombe who thereby brought the giant-killing exploits of David Zamora to an end! Winners are shown receiving their trophies from Club President, Dennis Parker.
