Flitwick and Ampthill Lawn Tennis Club recently held their annual David Olney Tournament in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.

The event proved to be a great success with the many spectators treated to some entertaining and high-quality tennis.

Harry Mabbitt and Paul Thomas were victors in the Men’s event with Matt Foster and Paul Salter runners-up.

Barbara Mabbitt and Mandy Lines won the Ladies’ competition with Emily Devereux and Niamh Gourlay the runners-up.

A total of £824 was raised for the charity and Sally Olney – wife of David, a member for 60 years – kindly accepted payment on behalf of the Alzheimer's Society from the club's head coach Terry Mabbitt.
