Club Championships 2008
 
This year the Junior championships joined the Adult championships, all finals were held on Saturday, September 20. The weather had been kind for the preceding week and Finals were held in unbroken sunshine. It was a successful event and will be repeated next year, with the Adult / Junior Championship taking place in September 2009. 
  
  
  Winning Player Pathway
CLUB TOURNAMENT FINALS 
  
Mens Singles  
Winner, Filip Feret ..... Runner-up, Geoff Cook 
The seeding was correct, the Final pitted No. 1 seed against No. 2 seed with the No.1 seed winning the title. The route was not easy though, Filip overcame Alex Harrison in a close early match, then met 16-year old Tom Lister in the semi-final. Tom won the first set, but Filip ended up as the winner in a very hard-fought match. Tom's serve is one of the best in local tennis and the match was played on Friday evening, with the Final following on Saturday morning.
Geoff had also completed some tough matches against Adam Stables and Andy Livingston, but the Final was over in 2 sets.
Both these finalists heralded a break in tradition, the event has previously been won by Mark Elks (5 times), Julian Harrison & Richard Harrison. The Final normally includes at least 1 of these 3 members.
  
Men's Doubles 
Winners, Andy Livingston & Keith Stringer ..... Runners-up, Tom Lister & Mike Harwood  
This Final was a 3-set marathon, each set being decided by a tiebreak. Tom's serve was virtually unbreakable but Andy and Keith just managed to win the final tiebreak and therefore the match in an entertaining, 2-hour game.
  
Doubles 08

Vets Doubles 
Winners, Rob Caranza & Janet Horsley ..... Runners-up, Tony Mockridge & Aileen Hammersley

Boys 16 & Under Doubles 
Winners, Nick Fairhurst & Sam West ..... Runners-up, Toby Garner & Geraint Waters
