ANDY Cooke and Margaret Whitehead stormed to the mixed doubles title in the City of York Tennis Championships at Rowntree Park last night.

They overpowered Paul Blackett and Wendy Stirk 6-1 6-3 to add to their impressive record in the championships in both singles and doubles.

Cooke will be hoping to add another title to that list as he will partner Steve Smith in the men's doubles - a section they have dominated in recent years.

The City of York Junior Tennis Championships will be held at the University of York on July 27 and 28.

Entry forms are available from all York-area tennis clubs and IT Sports.

The draw and order of play should be announced in next Tuesday's Evening Press.

The championships' referee is Bev Cairns, who can be contacted on 01904 702173 or 07721 368173.
