THE Prudden Road Surfacing South Warwickshire Summer League held its end of season Floodlit Tournament and presentation evening.

The event, sponsored by Tony King and Keith Burke of 'Motor Caravan Sales' Studley, took place at Henley and was attended by 20 teams.

League trophies were later presented by Redditch sponsors Fred and Betty Prudden together with £50 cheques presented by Ian Dance on behalf of 'Redditch Roadstone' to each of the three divisional winners.

The recipients were Inkberrow, Henley and Stratford C.

Floodlit trophies were presented by John Lovett, chairman of the South Warwickshire Area Committee for the Warwickshire LTA.

In the Shield, teams were split into two pools with only the winners from each pool going on to the final.

Littleton began with a bang in Pool A clouting Claverdon 10-1, while Alcester stunned Studley A with a 9-2 victory.

The two teams then faced up to each other and Alcester emerged victorious 7-4 and went on to take top spot.

Pool B of the Shield saw last year's Plate champions, Pershore, overwhelm Tanworth A 11-0 before cruising past Stratford B 8-3 and Henley 9-2.

Inkberrow A also recorded wins over the same three teams with identical 7-4 scorelines.

The crunch meeting between Pershore and Inkberrow saw a fascinating struggle before Pershore finally triumphed 6-5.

In the Plate competition there were four pools, with the winner of each going through to the semi-finals.

Pool A saw Stratford D emerge as winners over Bidford A. Pool B saw Aston Cantlow dominate over HDA Redditch. Pool C found FISSC topping their pool with Inkberrow B second.

The final place from Pool D witnessed a real tussle as both Stratford C and Littleton B finished equal with 15 points apiece. The match between the two decided the final semi-final place with Stratford squeezing through 6-5.

In the Plate semi-finals, Stratford D's Greg Delaney and Bob Slater came up against Dave Pitcher and Mat Dunsby, and going down 7-4 to the Aston Cantlow pair.

In the other semi, Stratford's other pair in the C team, Lawrence Dingly and Gary Scruby met a similar fate.

Clashing with rival Stratford side FISSC, the result could only be decided on the narrowest of tie-break margins, as Bob Baker and Chris Baker triumphed 6 -5 with a 7-5 tie-break game scoreline.

In the Floodlit Plate Final the Baker boys from FISSC were unable to raise their game, allowing Aston Cantlow's Pitcher and Dunsby to win 6-0.

Alcester won the toss in the Shield final and chose to start through Graham Marsh who comfortably held serve. Pershore's Mike Crooks replied with a scintillating love service game.

Steve Mitchell struggled to hold his serve and Alcester fell behind. With the help of two aces from Dean Swingler, Pershore increased the lead 3-1. Alcester pulled it back to 3-2 before the deciding point in the match.

A brave battle took Crooks' service game to two deuces. However, Crooks showed his class with two more terrific aces on the trot to make it 4-2.

There was no way back as Crooks and Swingler powered home 6-2.
