Bearsden Invitational Doubles Tournament & Ladies Summer Doubles Match Reports

Bearsden

On 2^nd June, Bearsden Lawn  Tennis Club held its annual invitation doubles tournament, with representation from Clarkston. It was a wonderful, sunny day and the event was well organised with a fabulous afternoon tea provided by the members of the Club itself. After a nail-biting 7-6 semi-final against Lenzie Ladies, Clarkston Ladies brought home the trophy for the first time since 1997 with a tense 6-5 victory over Milngavie Ladies. All that and a sun tan as well, can’t be bad! The winning Clarkston Ladies were Mary Gow and Lesley Taylor who played hard, showcased some great tennis and demonstrated their experience and skill to lift the trophy!

Match Reports

On 4^th June, Clarkston Ladies 2nds had an excellent 8-1 win over Fort Matilda Ladies 1sts. Playing were Judy and Susan (2 sets), Lesley and Fiona (3 sets) and Babs and Mary (3 sets). 

Next week, is our rest week in Division 1/2, so we will have plenty of energy to help Sandra have a late birthday celebration at the Club! Also, on 4^th June, Clarkston Ladies 1sts had a very close match at home against Western 1sts but finally lost 3-6 while the Ladies 3rds at home on the Thursday had an even close encounter with David Lloyd West End 2nds, losing 5-4 overall.

Pat Darge Swinging Sixties!

Despite my fears about the weather the Pat Darge Swinging Sixties was a great success....  and the winners were Kath Gairns (Fort Matilda) and Marlene Waudby (Bearsden) who won the trophies sent by Pat’s sister.

Runners up were Erica Lockett (Stewarton) and Veronica Lambie (Uplawmoor) who won two new cans of balls and the best part... two chocolate oranges! Everybody including the referees also got a chocolate orange!

Big thanks to Ross McGhee and Carol Milne who assisted with the draw, Katy who helped out food arrangements in the morning, and all ladies including those from Clarkston who helped with the washing. Special thank yous go to Lesley Taylor who kept the trophies safe until the last minute!

Fantastic to see so many clubs represented, and a great day was had by all.
