GENEROUS local tennis players gathered at Helensburgh Tennis Club on Sunday to raise money for the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity and the Argyll & Bute Children"s Befriending scheme.

The annual mixed doubles tournament is also in memory of Helensburgh tennis player Marie Dixon who contributed much to the local scene.

Players from all the clubs including Craighelen, Kirktonhill, Cardross and Helensburgh raised more than £300 for the two good causes.

The winning pair were Mark Leonard and Lesley Reeves who narrowly beat Peter McElroy and Fiona McDonald in the final.

The Contribution to tennis award was also presented at the event.

The award was donated by the family of the late Marie Dixon and it was presented to Kirktonhill"s Pat Leonard by Marie"s daughter Maeve.
