The fine grass courts at Frinton Lawn Tennis Club were in play for the final two tournaments of the summer season. 

The sun shone for both events, as it has on all but one of the year's many tournament days. 

The Colchester and District League's 80th individual Championship finals were held at the club and Frinton's men enjoyed a particularly successful day. 

Colin Minter and Jon Oates won the Carr-Ellison Cup for the fourth year running, while Matt Byford went home with the Jeffrey Cup for the third time in as many years and, with Mark Grover, he won the Herring Cup, also for the third successive year. 

Mark and Natalie Grover won the John Shippey Cup for the fourth time. 

Winners of this  year's Colchester and District League were presented with trophies after the conclusion of the championship finals. 

Four Frinton teams came top of their divisions. 

Frinton men's A won the men's premier division for the second year running, Frinton  ladies B won ladies' division one, Frinton mixed C won the mixed division two and Frinton mixed D won mixed division five. 

On Sunday the club staged a charity tournament in aid of CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young.) 

Sixty-five players enjoyed an afternoon of very social grass court tennis followed by tea in the clubhouse, with Graham McNamara and Chris Hoult declared winners of the day and £750 was raised for CRY.
