The poor weather cast a shadow over this year’s Grass Court Championships and very few competitors managed to play on grass at Aorangi Park.  The Tournament Director and Referee’s superhuman efforts to get matches could be played resulted in players scattering to indoor courts at The Queen’s Club, Lakeside and the National Tennis Centre as well as those at he All England Club and, somehow, every event was finished. 

Many of the singles events ran true to form, with the top-seeded players wining through.  Seb Jackson was tested by Simon Bramwell in the 35s semi-final but, having survived the first set tie-break, took his place in the final where he beat second seed, Andy Burgoyne.  In the 40s, Andrew Evans, from his position of fifth seed, had a comfortable route to the final where he impressively won all the key points against Johnny Barr.  James Turner won through a strong draw in the 35s, beating first top seed, Chris Hearn, in the semi and then Simon Curtis in the final.  Hearn, though, made sure of a trophy by retaining the doubles title .with Eric Knowles.

Women's 35 Inter-County Championships

The Women’s 35 Inter-County Championships were played at Devonshire Park, Eastbourne from 30 July to 1 August in largely fine and sunny weather except on the Saturday morning when heavy drizzle delayed the start of play so that only the first round (two singles and one doubles) could be played in the time available.

The new champion was  Lancashire who ended the weekend level with Yorkshire on two matches and equal rubbers scored, but took the title on the head to head rule, by beating Yorkshire 3-2 on the final day.   Middlesex beat the defending champions, Leicestershire, 4-1 on the last day, but both teams had won only one match each and were relegated to Division 2 to be replaced in 2011 by Sussex and Essex.

It was unfortunate that the withdrawal of Staffordshire from Division 3 meant that the remaining teams, Somerset, Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire had only two matches to play, but a slight reorganisation allowed two of these teams to play on successive days and save on accommodation costs.
