The 2012 San Michel tournament for teams at the Vittoriosa Lawn Tennis Club (VLTC) came to an end last week.

The competition attracted the participation of 66 men and 42 women. They were grouped into six teams and the captains were Christine Scerri, Diane D’Alessandro, Gian Gatt, Carmen Difesa, Lino Scicluna and Jonathan Camilleri.

The tournament was held over a period of 12 weeks with teams playing each other over two rounds and then with the top four advancing to the knockout stage.

In the semi-finals, D’Alessandro’s side eliminated that of Scerri while Gatt’s squad got the better of Difesa’s players.

The final, played at the Atlas Insurance Court, was a hard-fought encounter in which the side captained by Gatt emerged winners with a 7-5 scoreline.
