16 members signed up for the second mixed american tournament of 2025 and competed for the MIxed Doubles Cup and the customary Taittinger champagne.
There was a £2 charge to cover the cost of an appetising spread produced by Liz Dear.
The tournament consisted of mixed doubles matches of 6 games, organised so that where possible each match played was with a different partner against a pair not played before. Players were split into two groups with the highest scoring man and woman from each group going forward to the final. The top lady from the first group pairing the top man from the second group, and the top lady from the second group pairing the top man from the first group.
At the end of the group stage, Pam and Gill were the highest scoring ladies (Gill overcoming Chris in a racket based challenge as they were equal on points) with Bryan and Phil the highest scoring men.
The final was played as a 21 point tie break with Pam and Phil coming out on top beating Gill and Bryan 21-11 to claim the Mixed Doubles Cup and their bottle of Taittinger champagne. Gill and Bryan each received a tube of balls as runners up.
The next tournament will be held on Sunday 28th September 2025.
