Burnley Tennis Club held their 3rd Annual 24 Hour Tennis and Karoake event on the 28th August 2010 to raise funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).

The event is named after the Coach’s late wife Vicki Taylor, and all the funds raised go to CRY.

It was a great day kicking off at 9am on the 28th with the Mavericks taking on the Wannabees in the Junior Section with 49 Championships tie-breaks being played and the Mavericks just winning 25-24.

The senior American Tournament consisted of 29 players, with an experienced player partnering less experienced over a round robin format, leading to semis and finals. Fun was had by all and the deserving and sober winners were Eddie Holt and Natalie Taylor (Step daughter of Vicki).

The Karaoke then took place with the highlight being a debut performance from the Burnley Boys (below) who sang a set of 6 songs, taking the crowd through a journey of boyband history!!!

So far a total of just over £400 has been raised and we are still taking donations until the end of 2010. For more details on how to give to the Vicki Taylor Memorial contact Iain on 07885528915 or email iaintaylor1971@hotmail.co.uk.

All Vicki’s family would like to thank everyone involved in the day and for their kind donations, it is very much appreciated.
