Hi everyone,
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to take a moment to share some fantastic news from our annual Championships Finals Day, which took place on Sunday, 8th September. We witnessed a remarkable display of talent and dedication from both our junior and senior members, with some truly exciting matches.
A special congratulations to two of our outstanding juniors, Emily Marshall (16) and Nicholas Morrell (14), who stole the show by winning the Women’s and Men’s titles, respectively. This marks the second year in a row that our juniors have taken home these titles, a true testament to their hard work and the excellent coaching we provide here at the club.
Despite the unpredictable weather, the Finals Day went ahead with thrilling matches. Nicholas not only won the Men's title but also triumphed in the 16&U Boys’ category, defeating Daniel Lopez 6-2, 6-4. Emily showed her dominance once again, retaining her Women’s title with a commanding 6-0, 6-0 win over Debbie Rowland. Both players are shining examples of the future talent we’re nurturing at Stony Stratford.
Our juniors continued to impress across various age groups:
- Anvith Lokesh won the 9&U group, with Sofia Hanak finishing second.
- Sofa Cancel triumphed over Sebastian Opera in the 10&U final with a 4-1, 4-1 victory.
- Robin Jones won the 12&U Boys’ title in a tight 6-4, 7-5 match against Miguel Dadios, and the pair later teamed up to take the 12&U doubles title.
- Ameya Polavajram delivered a flawless performance in the 14&U Girls’ final, winning 6-0, 6-0 against Aada Singh.
The adult categories didn’t disappoint either, with competitive matches and dramatic results across the board:
- Nicholas defeated Toli Larosa 6-1, 7-6 in the Men’s Final.
- In the Men’s Over 45 final, Ian Spanswick won an epic three-set match against Mauro Puddinu.
- Teresa O’Mahony claimed the Ladies Over 60’s title, while Mark Meagrow won the Men’s Over 60’s.
We also saw strong performances in the doubles events. Congratulations to Julia Carter and Annabel Flett for winning the Ladies Doubles title, and to Nicholas and Toli for their Men’s Doubles victory. Emily and Toli capped off the day by winning the Mixed Doubles title.
It was a brilliant day for the club, and Club Chairman Simon Burn summed it up perfectly: "We’ve seen some exceptional talent and dedication across all age groups, and it’s exciting to watch the growth of our juniors as they step up and challenge the seniors."
I’d like to thank everyone who participated, supported, or helped organise the day—it’s events like this that make our club so special.
