Helen Hillson and Adrian Brown are celebrating after winning the end of season Briscoe Cup Mixed Doubles Competition at the Grove Tennis Club.
They beat Paul and Claire Flynn 6-4 in a final set decider after 10 pairs had fought out a close round robin tournament in two groups on a pleasant sunny day.
Another beautiful October Sunday at the Grove brought eight men's pairs together for the Wallis Cup.
A similar format to the Briscoe Cup was used but with the added hurdle of semi finals for the group winners and runners up.
