The Bellfield Open debuted in Inverness last week, giving tennis players of all ages the chance to test their skills with trophies on the line.
Lewis Mackintosh claimed two wins in senior men’s categories, as he was triumphant in both singles and doubles alongside Ross Young.
Fergus McWilliam was at the other end of the court on both occasions, partnering with Joe Miller for the silver medal in doubles competition.
In the ladies’ doubles round robin, Vivienne Hutchings and Shona Ramsay took home the gold, while Teresa Tait and Jane Sim finished second.
Some familiar names popped up again in the boys under-18 competitions, with Miller and Mackintosh losing out in the doubles to Young and Russel Dickson, who also claimed the singles title.
Logan Gillespie beat Findlay Pratt in the final of the under-16 boys, while Oliver Warner got the better of Thomas Dixon in the under-14s.
Louis Warner and Chloe Sanderson were the under-12 boys and girls winners respectively, while in the mixed younger age groups Drew Murdoch (under-10), Vishnu Ganesh Kumar (under-9) and Sasha Sheerer (under-8) won.
Bellfield Park Tennis Club were supported by several sponsors when organising the competition.
Global Highland, Be Personnel, Lochardil and Drummond Community Council, Scotbark, Glenridding Dental and Stuart Macleod painter and decorator all had a role to play in making it happen, so the club has extended their thanks to all involved.
