National Plus Tennis Tournament
Submitted by joseph.gurney on 30 June 2009 - 12:11am.
National Tennis 2009The first Plus National Tennis Tournament took place on Sunday 29th June 2009 at Central Park, Dagenham. There were ten participants in total, from Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge, and Thurrock Plus groups. There was glorious hot weather all afternoon, with rain only appearing just after everyone had left the courts.
Andy Robinson of Redbridge won the Mens Singles title, beating Steve Roast in the final. Meanwhile, in the Ladies Singles championship Sarah Roast of Barking & Dagenham narrowly defeated Gemma Crader to take the title.
After the tournament, the participants all went for a celebratory dinner at Cosmo's in Romford. The event proved to be a very popular one and is certain to be staged again next year.
