Result: Kevin Worth bt. Graham Worth 6-4,6-7,6-2

Result: Sarah Statton bt. Ruth Cornish 6-4, 6-0.

Boys Singles ("Battle of the Brothers mk.2")

After dropping the first set, Dan eventually wore down his younger brother Kevin to win in 3 very long sets. The match lasted over 2 hours in total.

Result: Dan O'Donovan bt. Kevin O'Donovan 1-6, 7-5, 6-2

Despite flashes of brilliance from Abby, Hayley's power and consistency gave her a comfortable victory.

Result: Hayley Frayn bt. Abby Logg 6-0, 6-0.

Mens Plate

David gained revenge for a narrow loss to Dan in a marathon Boys semi final played in the morning. Tiredness and David's consistent play eventually proved too much for Dan - 6 hours of tennis in 1 day is too much even for a 17 year old!

Result: David Forshaw bt. Dan O'Donovan 6-1, 7-5.

Ladies Plate

Sarah put in a very creditable performance but Helen eventually came out on top in a close match.

Result: Helen Davies bt. Sarah Cooke 6-3, 6-4.
