The tournament, which is for players aged over 35, was played on both Saturday and Sunday and featured both mixed doubles, doubles, combined aged doubles and combined aged mixed doubles.
The action on court over the two days was of a high standard however all games were played in the right spirit, regardless of whether they were the top grade or more social players.
Paramount Tennis Club President, Paul Handsaker, who played in the men’s doubles on Sunday morning, was pleased the event drew such a strong turnout and was enjoyed by all players.
“We got a lot of great feedback from all the players about how much they enjoy this weekend and how well we run the tournament,” Handsaker said.
“It is a testament to our committee members and volunteers that take the reins for the weekend and help out in the lead-up and again over the weekend running the tournament, the canteen and so forth.
“The players themselves also make it very easy to run as everyone is here to enjoy themselves while also trying to play some really competitive tennis.
“Weekends such as this are pretty important to the club as the money we raise helps us maintain our high standard of facilities and upgrade those facilities as required.”
The Paramount Tennis Club is currently in the early stages on its spring competitions with A, B and C grades all concluding in the middle of December.
