The fourth Simpatia Crai tournament for teams, at Tennis Club Kordin, came to a close recently with the final played between the sides of Darren Buhagiar and Marco Ricci. Buhagiar captained his team to a tight victory to make it a hat-trick of successive wins in this competition.

After the first four rubbers, Buhagiar's team were leading 5-3 but their opponents hit back to make it five-all after the men's B rubber match.

The sixth and seventh rubbers were shared and the outcome at that stage depended on the final matches on Court 3 between the 'Ladies A' pairings. The balance eventually tilted in Buhagiar's team favour.

The presentation ceremony will take place on Saturday.
