Simon enjoyed better fortunes in the mixed triples where he and wife Tina teamed up with Gary Bell to hold off a fightback from Irene Bailey, Jonathan Darley and Barrie Robinson to win 17-15.

A one-sided game in the men’s over 60s singles saw Allan Dent (senior) cruise to victory over Keith Kelly.

The trophy presentation evening was well attended with Louth town mayor Pauline Watson handing over the awards.
