Our far-est far country members, New Zealanders Chris and Jenny Clarke, won the New Zealand AC Mixed Doubles Championship yesterday, beating Miranda Chapman and Greg Bryant +3, +16 in a toughly contested best of three final . Remarkably, this was their first time entering as a pair. 5/5 and a new achievement together. (Miranda and her husband Paddy are much missed former members of our club.)
