A strong field of 108 entries contested this year's Janet Agnew Carnival Doubles Tennis Tournament, played in very hot, muggy conditions, at Thomas Neale Family Memorial Park, Kamo, earlier this month.
Northland greats Mike Clapshaw and Terry Mitchell justified their top seeding in a strong draw by winning an entertaining Mens A Grade final defeating top Northland juniors Daniel Hammond and Blake Hay 6-3 7-6.
Wendy Jambor and Alyce Kelly triumphed in the Ladies A Grade defeating Shelley Yeates and Cheryl Baker 6-4 7-6. Phil Bowers and John Tanner took out the Mens B Grade after a marathon final against Riki Hona and Alan Fausett, 7-6 7-5, played into the evening and in the rain.
Last on court by at least an hour, Debbie Turner and Coral Hammer won the Ladies B Grade beating Wendy Berghan & Sacha Pou-Tito 6-4 6-4.
