The following year they reached a final of a small tournament and from then on became a combination to fear displaying a great understanding on the court - Robertson was the finisher and Jenkins the crafty playmaker.
The pair won no less than five national open titles together while Jenkins also took two mixed doubles titles with Brent Chapman and Dean Galt.
Their women's doubles bronze medal at the 1998 Commonwealth Games was a career highlight and four years later at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, Jenkins won another bronze medal in the mixed doubles event with Chris Blair.
Jenkins now lives in Australia.
