Our annual tennis club presentation evening took place on Saturday 11th October.

There was a superb turnout for the presentation with the clubhouse full of club members, families and friends.

The presentation saw all of the winners and runners-up from the 2014 club championships awarded with their trophies. Additionally, Head Coach Rhys Morgan awarded a ‘Coaches’ Player of the Year’ for each age group. Following a discussion with the other coaches at the club, the player of the year was awarded to players who had shown excellent attendance, desire to improve and effort and attitude in sessions during 2014. The winners of the ‘Coaches’ Player of the Year’ were as follows:
Mini Red – Zoe Pitman
Mini Orange – Eve Wynne-Owen
Mini Green – Lewis White
Junior – Ben Voss

A huge thanks to everyone who supported yet another fantastic year of Summer Holiday tennis camps. We were extremely lucky to such brilliant weather throughout the Summer.

The coaches were really impressed with how much all of the children improved over the Summer. We hope you all had loads of fun.

Congratulations to all of the players who received an award at our presentation afterwards.

Congratulations to all players who took part in our 14&U Road to Wimbledon competition.

There was some excellent tennis on display, with some players showing some excellent improvements as they gained more experience playing matches.

The final was played between Ben Voss and Andrew Tong in extremely testing conditions, with at times gale force winds. There were some outstanding rallies in the final considering the conditions with Ben coming out on top 6-2 6-0.

We would like to wish Ben and Andrew the best of luck in the County Finals which will take place in June
