PICTURED are the finalists in Minehead Tennis Club’s winter doubles final, which was played recently.

Jane Thicknesse and Chris Richards were unable to play due to illness, so beaten semi-finalists Steve Hunt and Jude Johnson took their place against Alison Mothersdale and Gian Zuchelli.

A keenly fought contest saw Jude and Steve take the first set 7-5 but Alison and Gian took the next two to clinch a match which lasted two hours.

New club president Bob Pye presented the trophy afterwards to Alison and Gian.
