Nearly 90 tennis players competed in the 2025 West Wight Tennis Tournament, raising money for Isle of Wight charities.
Mountbatten Isle of Wight and SWAY (South Wight Area Youth) were the recipients of the funds, following the event which took place at Westover House.
Eighty-eight players were whittled down to the final four: Ian Wellby and Gillian McKinney vs Doug O’Keefe and Sally Paul.
The match was well-fought but, in the end, it was Ian and Gillian who were victorious.
After play a buffet lunch was served up, by Mountbatten IW’s catering team.
A total of £3,000 was raised for Mountbatten Isle of Wight, while £1,000 was handed to SWAY.
