THE 7th Annual Trophy Stall Doubles Championships showcased a grand closure one week ago during the Guyana Lawn Tennis Association’s (GLTA) 2017 Annual Awards Ceremony.

According to past president of the GLTA, Grace McLennon, It was a fitting environment to display the most attractive trophies for the tournament to date.

Players were awarded from four categories which featured 32 matches played over the span of one month.

These were Men’s Doubles, Ladies Doubles, Mixed Doubles and Mens Over-45 Doubles.

The tournament which started early December was once again delayed because of bad weather and a shortage of tennis facilities.

But this did not dampen the spirits of the players who passionately completed their matches at the Le Ressouvenir Tennis Club.

Trophies were handed over by Trophy Stall representative, Eshwar Bharrat.

The GLTA intends to bring this tournament forward in 2018 to escape the inclement weather that usually plagues the smooth scheduling of matches during the tournament.
