County Open, Wick - Season 2011-2012 - 04/02/12

Treble winners - Shona & Mark Mackay.

Mark and Shona Mackay repeated their clean sweep of trophies at the Caithness Badminton Association's annual open championships in Wick.

The Dunnet couple again proved unbeatable in the singles and level doubles before combining to take the mixed title.

Mark, the long-time county kingpin, won the round-robin single competition without dropping a set.

One of the best games of the day involved Halkirk youngster Peter Sangster and Wick's Stephen Hill.

Peter toughed out a marathon, stamina-sapping first set 27-25 before Stephen levelled after edging the second set 23-21.

Peter claimed the decider 21-14 to finish overall second.

Mark went on to team up with club colleague Gavin Robertson, to land the level doubles, with Peter and Stephen, runners-up.

He and Shona then won their qualifying group of the mixed before getting home in a two set final versus the other group winner, Peter & Carole Mowat, Thurso.

Shona did not drop a set in landing the singles crown before partnering Halkirk youngster Kate MacNicol to victory in the doubles.

Wick's Donna Majilton was twice the bridesmaid, finishing second in the singles and, along with Thurso's Michelle Cowie, runners-up in the level doubles.
