We entered seven teams into the Kendal and District League in the 2023 season. A good number of members, both new and regular team members, enjoyed competing over the spring and summer and on the whole we did pretty well.
You can see the final results on the League website here: https://www.kendal.tennis-league.org/
Here's a quick round up of our season:
- Mens A Team stays in the 1st Division despite being hampered by injuries, they did really well, fantastic effort.
- Mens B Team wins promotion to the 2nd Division. Congratulations!
- Mens C Team had some great matches and finished just in the lower half of their division.
- First Mixed Team led the 1st Division all season but were pushed back into second place in the very last match. It was a tough end to a great season of tennis.
- Second Mixed Team came a respectable joint second in the 2nd Division.
- Ladies A Team - There were just 4 points (or sets) between the top three teams in the Ladies Division and after leading for the whole season our Ladies were pushed back into third place in the very last week.
- Ladies B Team - This was the first year we've had enough keen and capable women players to enter 2 teams into the Ladies League and we're the only club to do so, which says a lot about how healthy our club is, just now. We didn't win much but had some great matches and gained loads of experience and confidence which will set us in good stead for next season.
Many thanks to our team captains who make it all possible. If you think you could captain a team, please let Dave Parry, our Club Captain know.
