Tennis triumph
A GLORIOUS finals weekend rounded off a record breaking South of Scotland tennis championships in Moffat.
The 226 entries smashed the previous record meaning it was a very busy week for organisers and referees ahead of Sunday’s final.
The mens singles winner Gary Smith made it his fourth win on the trot at Moffat.
The third seed beat Robbie Price in the final.
Taking the top honours in the ladies singles was Lauren Hewett who beat Jennifer Steel in the last match of the competition.
This year’s ladies competition attracted more entries due to an increase in prize money thanks to new sponsor Magnox Limited (Chapelcross site).
There were plenty of Moffat and Dumfries and Galloway players taking part for fans to cheer for.
Local player and coach Marissa Meola retained the ladies singles handicap, while Mike McMillin narrowly missed out in the final of the mens singles handicap.
