TENNIS coach Andrew Disney is on his way to Wimbledon after winning tickets at Wiveliscombe Tennis Club’s open day.

A sizeable crowd turned out for the annual event at the town’s recreation ground, with action on all three courts throughout a sunny April morning. The ballot for Wimbledon tickets caused the only pause in play, with Andrew among the lucky winners.

He was less lucky in his recent 12-hour marathon session alongside Noel Binding but an ankle injury after three hours did not prevent him completing the event in bitingly cold conditions. The pair raised £543 for Sports Relief, including £90 from their mini-marathon curtain raiser in Wiveliscombe Square.
