Castletown Lawn Tennis Club’s championship finals day was held recently at the Malew Street courts.

The mini tennis red had an excellent entry and was played in three groups, with the winners of each group and the highest scoring runner-up going through to the semi-finals.

In the semis, Darcey Garrett beat Cameron Garrett 5/1 and Tom Coates defeated Samuel Kinnish 5/1, then in a closely-contested final Tom beat Darcey 5/4.

The mini tennis orange was played as a round robin and the final result could not have been much closer, with only three points covering the top three. Coming out on top was James Ashley with 32 points and Jonas Austin was runner-up on 31. Just missing out was Thomas De Carte on 29.

The girls under-16 final was won by the more-experienced player Sophie Wright who, as the holder, beat Amy Jackson 6/0.

The boys under-16 title was claimed by last year’s runner-up Cameron Goldie who defeated David Taylor 6/1.

The women’s singles final was a close encounter going to a third-set match-tie break.with Justine Torry beating Lucy Kerr 6/3 1/6 10/4. In the men’s singles final, 2018 runner-up Craig Blackwell got the better of Alan Macnair 6/2 6/2.

There was a playback competition for the men’s first-round losers and in the final Peter De Carte came out on top against Peter Skelton 6/1 6/3.
