Writhlington Tennis Club held its Tenth Anniversary Club Championships recently, with thirteen cups up for grabs and qualifying rounds held all through September. The tennis centre was also celebrating its anniversary, and there was memorabilia on show to celebrate ten years of tennis.
Ashley Ward, an upcoming Junior, won three cups – the Under-14s and Under-16s singles and the Under-16s Doubles with Oliver. Ashley is certainly one to watch!
Our Doubles competitions were closely-fought and saw some excellent tennis, and there is a reason why our Ladies team are in the top division of the Avon Summer League. The eventual winners were Francesca Beg and Amanda Baldwin, who beat Alex Hull and Eleanor Nobbs 6-7, 6-2, 10-3.
The Men’s doubles was equally tough, and with both matches on at the same time, it was often hard to know which one to watch! In the end, Jon Doel and Nathan Jackson beat Patrick Lodge and Samuel Perryman 6-2, 4-6, 10-6.
The club also honours its Member of the Year, and this year it was Christine Hunt, current Chair of the club and committed member who organises social activities, as well as being a valued and active player.
Jenny Perez received Volunteer of the Year for creating summer photo themes each week and for communications coverage for the club, which has increased substantially over the last year. For more information, visit: www.writhlingtontennisclub.net
