Our annual 14&U Road to Wimbledon competition took place during the May Bank Holiday weekend.

10 players took part in the Boys event – some players were playing in their first ever Road to Wimbledon event, whilst others were taking part in their 4th event at the club. There were some excellent matches throughout the event, with all players gaining valuable matchplay experience. The final was contested by two Road to Wimbledon veterans, Ben Voss and Lorca Heeney-Brockett (pictured below) both playing in their 4th and last ever Road to Wimbledon event. Congratulations to Ben who won the final – winning his 4th consecutive Road to Wimbledon title at Mackintosh LTC!!

Based on the success of last years event we will be running another Mini Red Family Quorn Tennis Cup event this year.

Entry to the event will cost £5 per pair.

*adult family member – parent, carer, guardian, step parent, co-parent, uncle, auntie, sibling or grandparent.

Last year this event was loads of fun for everyone. The children loved playing with their parents & it was a great introduction for many to start enjoying playing matches. I would recommend this event to any Mini players keen to start playing matches. There will also be great deals on the day for the parents, including membership discounts & adults coaching discounts.

The winners from the Mackintosh Family Quorn Tennis Cup will earn the opportunity of a day at a Quorn Family Tennis Cup event held on the qualifying weekend of a LTA grass court major event in May or June. Last year Mackintosh winners Rocco and Becky had an amazing experience playing at Surbiton and watching some of the professionals play.

Mackintosh LTC – Mixed Singles Handicap Competition 2016 – Results

Handicap Final 2016

Saturday was a great day at the club with the Tennis Mixed Singles Handicap finals taking place.

Firstly,  Head Coach Rhys Morgan was against Coach Billy Barclay in the Main Draw final. The handicap system meant Rhys had to give Billy an 8 point head start in each set. Both players played some excellent tennis in the match with Rhys eventually coming out on top in 3 sets 21-12 9-21 21-11.

The second match was the Consolation Draw final which was contested between Aaron Trott and Oskar Gregory. Both players had excellent wins in their respective semi-finals to reach this stage of the competition. Oskar proved to be too strong for Aaron in the final winning in straight sets 21-8 21-13. This was a great achievement for Oskar – who was the youngest player in the draw.

A big shout out to Chair Umpire Tom Griffiths who did an excellent job umpiring the matches. Also a huge thanks to all of the spectators who came along to watch the matches.
