Report written by Trish Ross, President of Women in Tennis
In the 15th year of running the Helen Waters Doubles Championship, the Women in Tennis had a record attendance of 78 pairs with 2 reserves, which was the biggest attendance of ladies for many years!
The event took place on Wednesday 29 April at the Dalkeith TC, and the weather was perfect – just a little drizzle, with clouds and sunshine to make the day very comfortable.
The Dalkeith ladies put on a marvellous spread and the W.I.T committee brought along some very delicious slices.
Tournament Director, Leon Dhu did a stirling job with combinations of ladies into 7 divisions and the whole day ran very smooth indeed, with great help from the Women in Tennis committee.
Ladies made lots of comments on how they look forward to the event every year and judging by the outstanding attendance this year, the committee are very happy that everyone enjoyed the day.
There was 17 grass courts and 3 hard courts in play.
