Jon and Sarah Gidney were the winners of a new and enjoyable tennis competition staged on the six indoor courts at The Shrewsbury Club.
They emerged victorious from the 26 club members which took part in the Swan Hill House mixed doubles tournament.
The event was sponsored by Shrewsbury residential home Swan Hill House, with owner Charlie Daker, a member at The Shrewsbury Club, taking part.
A round-robin tournament, with each match consisting of one set, saw the top two pairs in each group progress to the semi-finals.
Jon and Sarah Gidney, a brother and sister pairing, eventually beat Ollie Cores Birch and Antonia Bowett 6-4 in the final.
The members all enjoyed a barbecue and some drinks after the tournament.
Simon Haddleton, The Shrewsbury Club’s director of tennis, said: “It was great to see so many of our members enjoying this new event at the club, and we really appreciate the continued support from Swan Hill House in helping us to host competitive events like this."
Tournament sponsor Charlie Daker added: “I’m really excited about our involvement with The Shrewsbury Club.
"It will provide great opportunities to participate in a more active and exciting lifestyle for our guests, both in terms of being spectators and also physical participation in sport and fitness.”
