Dorset beach crowned the cleanest in the UK<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n During the initial round-robin phase, competitors were randomly partnered and pitted against different opponents in three separate mixed doubles matches.\n<\/p>\n
\n The aim here was for individuals to rack up as many games and wins as possible.\n<\/p>\n
\n At the end of this phase, the top four women and men advanced to the semi-finals, gearing up for a more competitive stage of the tournament.\n<\/p>\n
\n After a thrilling day of tennis, coupled with a pot-luck lunch supplied by all entrants, Lorraine Slowther and Stephen Hockaday, both previous tournament winners, triumphed over club chair Al Clark and his wife Ros in their semi-final match.\n<\/p>\n
\n In the other semi-final, Charmian Wylde and James Warne overpowered Sophie Wells and Keith Mason, winning their match 6-4.\n<\/p>\n
\n The final was an exciting display of skill, with all eyes on the consistent duo, Slowther and Hockaday, as they worked to tame Warne’s serve and claim a 6-3 victory.\n<\/p>\n
\n Spectators watched from the clubhouse and viewing platform.\n<\/p>\n
\n The prizes and the coveted trophy were presented by club and tennis chair Al Clark, who extended a vote of thanks to everyone who participated.\n<\/p>\n
