Everyball Tennis Seniors tournament (ITF Grade 4) at Halton 2019

We were delighted once again to enjoy the Everyball Tennis Seniors tournament (ITF Grade 4) with terrific weather and a brilliant atmosphere here at Halton UK.

This year saw the inclusion of new age groups from 35 right up to 75-and-over, and we also saw the inclusion of mixed doubles.

Our very own Mike James retained the men’s 50s singles title, despite nursing a very sore calf. Mike displayed one of our 4R's in abundance, showing great resilience in a 6-4 6-3 win against Everyball's good friend Phil Hill.

Also featured in the roll of honour were David Barnett and Robert Pain, who beat a well-seasoned Canada/GB pairing 6-3 6-0 in the final. David mentioned that he had never felt so relaxed in a final before -- and it certainly showed in his play!

John Farrell and his partner Dave Hewson were runners up in the men’s 45s doubles, and Dharshi Maheswaran and Nila Sari won the women’s 40s doubles.
