2023 Jim and Marjorie Denman Mixed tournament 

Played on 15th October, organised by Tony Denman.  The final mixed doubles tournament of the season was completed at 7.00pm - under floodlights for the the first time ever. With all 32 players present, the atmosphere throughout was excellent. The overall standard was as good as previous tournaments and there was a competitive but friendly spirit generally.

The semi finals were keenly contested but Phil Hennessy, Laura Woods, Steve Arnold & Jane Healey all went out at this stage. Steve was particularly unlucky as he tied in games with Martin but went out on countback.

This left Darren Pollard, Martin Patrick, Debs Clarke & Patricia Pollard to compete in the final. Debs eventually won the Women's section of the tournament and Darren was the Men's winner.
