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!
