Wickford's men were celebrating the double this week after claiming the Leigh & Westcliff Jubilee Cup to add to their division one title.

The quartet from the Swan Lane club enjoyed a straight sets victory over Rochford in the final of the league cup event.

Rochford's Phil Stevens and Chris Nelson made a good start against Wickford's Neil and Craig George.

They were 3-1 up in the first set but then lost nine games on the trot before losing 6-3 6-0 to the Georges.

Rob Scott and Andy Bowden went down in straight sets to Cliff Warwick and David Crawford, who won 7-5 6-1.

The men's success marked a successful season for Wickford, whose mixed team won the division one title following promotion as division two champions last season.

Kent Elms' ladies claimed the division one crown for the second year running.
