New faces on top as British Army crowns first time men's and women's tennis champions

British Army Tennis have crowned two first-time champions in the men's and women's service championships in Aldershot.

Lance Corporal Warwok Rai beat Sean Marren in the men's final after Marren was forced to withdraw from the action due to an injury picked up earlier in the tournament.

In the women's final, Officer Cadet Milly Wood, who represents East Midlands UOTC, defeated last year's losing finalist Emma McMahon in straight sets to lift the trophy in her debut championship.

Competitors will now turn their attention to Inter Services competitions which will begin at Wimbledon on 29 July.

The concluding clash in this year's Army men's singles tennis tournament featured two first-time finalists, and Rai, representing the REME, took an exciting first set with a 6-1 score.

Marren won the first game of the second set but was clearly struggling with an injury and, after dropping three consecutive games, he admitted defeat to end the final early and give Rai a first-ever Army championship.

The women's final saw a confident Wood put in an accomplished display.

After winning the first set 6-2, she didn't take her foot off the gas and wrapped up the championship with a 6-3 second-set triumph.
