TERRY Turner resisted the challenge of Leopards teammate Andy Town to win the Mid Cheshire Championships’ open singles final on Wednesday.

He dominated at Winnington Rec to win in straight sets.

However the duo then joined forces to win the open doubles, beating another Leopards combination – Geoff Cummings and Winston Duff – in a deciding set.

Town’s busy night continued when he saw off Dave Southall (Sparks) in the veterans’ singles.

And he completed a hat-trick of wins with success in four sets, in tandem with Duff, against Southall and Ray Worthington in the veterans’ doubles.

Crusaders’ Ryan Ratcliffe took the opening set of the Division Two singles final in a clash with Adam Ryder, only for the Blades man to recover and record a 3-1 victory.

In the Division Three singles showpiece, Paul Curley (Bears) held his nerve to win a decisive fifth set against his opponent, Vikings’ John Roberts.

Kieran Underwood collected a first solo trophy after edging Peter Wong in the juniors’ final.

The drawn doubles, for which the pairings were made on the night, was won by Duff and Gail Johns in three sets at the expense of Southall and Craig Lee.

On Monday, Blades completed a remarkable campaign by beating Division One side Team Hut in the Mike Johns Memorial Handicap Team Knockout final.

Already conquerors of higher-ranked Victoria and Mid Cheshire Super League champions Leopards, they added a third top-flight scalp following a 5-1 victory.

Blades’ Adam Ryder and Jack Styles won two matches each.
