The Veterans’ Four Nations Championships in the age groups 55, 60 and 65 for both Men and Women were played at David Lloyd Renfrew, Scotland, in a most enjoyable and highly competitive event meticulously managed by John Stevenson of Tennis Scotland, the referee. The format of two tie-break sets with a champions’ tie break to decide if needed, produced some very close results and over the three days numerous matches went the distance.   Ascrutiny of the England scores shows that the players won thirtenn of these out of sixteen played!

The overall result was a win for England when four of the age group teams ended in first position in their groups.  They were the Men’s 55, 60 and 65 and the Women’s 55.  The remaining Women’s teams achieved second place to Scotland whose team included strong international players in Marjory Love and Christine Lockhart in the 60s and Frances MacLennan in the 65s.  The table below shows the points awarded (four for a win, three for second place and so on) and how all the nations finished.
