Bradshaw, the second seed, won 7-6, 7-6 despite a knee injury that forced him to withdraw from the XL Classic pre-qualifying tournament the next day.

He and sister Donna reached the doubles final but had to pull out trailing 6-4, 3-2 to second seeds Ailsa Campbell and Ken MacDonald.

Donna, however, salvaged something from the championships as she emerged with two titles.

First, she beat a game Debbie Darrell in the women's singles final, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 and then teamed up with Gil Butterfield to stop Campbell and J.White 6-3, 7-6 in the doubles.

The other double winner was senior Oliver Bain. He won the men's `B' singles titles 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 over second seed Eugene Simmons and also the senior singles over arch-rival Bob Stewart 7-6, 6-2.

Mallory's lone success came in the men's doubles when he and Steve Bean captured yet another title with a 6-0, 5-7, 6-1 win over Monty Nearon and Martin Zolnai.
