Parkinson’s International Open Inverclyde SC Largs
– Last weekend Lynn Arnot competed at this weekend event playing mixed doubles and ladies doubles on Saturday morning.
– In the mixed doubles group stage, they missed out on qualifying for the next stage.
– However in the ladies doubles with her partner Joy, they won the group and qualified for semi-final on Sunday.
– On Saturday afternoon in the ladies singles, Lynn played very well to win the group only dropping one game.
– As a result she would play her doubles partner Joy in the semi-finals on Sunday.
– On Sunday Lynn and Joy won the ladies doubles semi-final 3-1 and then final 3-0 to win Gold in Class 2.
– In the ladies singles semi-final she beat Joy 3-1 to reach the final.
– In the final Lynn lost out to an experienced German opponent 3-1 to win Silver in Class 2.
– A terrific performance from Lynn who has only been playing two years and changed from being a right-handed player in December to a left-handed player!!!. 👏👏👏
