THE ANNUAL Bolton Sports Federation Tennis Tournament continued in fine style on Saturday.

Good progress was made in the junior singles. The top seeds in the Boys event had byes, while the third and fourth seeds progressed comfortably with Tetik beating Platt 6-4, 6-3 and Lister winning 6-2, 6-0 against Mataciunas.

Joanne Taylor was the only seed to play in the Girls event and she overcame a difficult challenge from Sarah Pegman 6-2, 6-4. However, she is likely to face a stiff challenge in the next round from the Holcombe based up and coming star, Haley Warrington for a place in the semi final.

Much of Saturday's play was devoted to the handicap events. Once again these proved to he a happy hunting ground for the Walmer based players. In the Mens Doubles, last years winners, Steve Routledge and Rick Morley, playing off -40, overcame the challenge of Jonathon Davies and Stuart Jackson from Hawkshaw, playing off a similar handicap, but the close margin of 6-4, 6-5.

Rick then continued, in partnership with his wife Lisa, to account for Pete Hackin and Rhianon Joseph with a four and one win, again both playing off the same handicap.
