The 2023 edition of the Monkstone Club Doubles took place yesterday. A record 36 members took part on a bright sunny and warm October day.
As usual the games were played in a competitive but friendly spirit. Surprisingly after Round 2 there were only 5 teams on 2 wins and the final round saw this cut to only 3 teams with 3 wins.
Sharon Paynter & John Maroney came a very creditable 3rd with 3 wins [+7] and were just pipped by Bernard Adshead & Len Christian on [+11] but the runaway winners were Sean Smith & newcomer Spencer Bartlett on [+34].
It was alleged that Sean had been down at the club practicing since 6am so perhaps practice does pay off!
