2016 JIM & MARJORIE DENMAN MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT

The points were added up and the winning eight were Penny, Pam, Patricia and Michelle from the ladies section and James D, Josh, Fariss and Stephen from the mens section. The semi-finals were good fairly close games which lead to Penny, Michelle, Josh and Fariss having the chance to play in the final. The outcome was that Josh gained sixteen points and beat Fariss by one point and Michelle won twenty points to beat Penny who gained eleven points. We now have two new names on the trophies as neither Josh (yes something he has not won!) and Michelle are both first time winners.

The 2011 finals day was a great event for both the spectators and those who played. The eventual winners were:

Josh Pollard beat Tony Denman to take the men’s singles title. Likely to be the first of many!

Keeping it in the family Patricia Pollard lifted the ladies singles title.

Des O’Dell and Andy Primm came through a hard 3 sets against Farris Barakat and James Denman to be crowned mens doubles champions.

Patricia Pollard and Sasha Long became Ladies Doubles champs beating Rita O’Regan and Morna Fox.

Patricia completed a clean sweep when she ended up winning the mixed doubles with Des. The duel at dusk saw them seeing off a stiff challenge from Dave T and Elaine Luckly.

2011 Anne Leegood Tournament

Jointly won by Margaret and Julia

 

ARCHIVE - A trip down memory lane !

The Anne Leegood final from 1970. Brian Denman umpiring here, clearly disqualifies Lynn Patterson for wearing a tablecloth, the eventual winners Betty Morris and Monica Muschamp to this day feel it was the correct decision. Lynn left Hove the following year to form her own club, Rookery.
