League Action 2024

A good number of members enjoyed playing in our teams in the Kendal and District Tennis League over the spring and summer and on the whole, we had a really good season.

Five of our seven teams were runners up in their divisions. 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:

• Ladies A Team - Runner up in the Ladies division, just pipped at the post at the very end of the season. Thanks to Erica for captaining.  
• Ladies B Team - We are still the only club in the league to field two Ladies teams which says a lot about how healthy our club is at the moment. This team is now becoming a force to be reckoned with, won a good few sets, had some very close matches and is looking much stronger and more confident which is all extremely positive for next season. Thanks to Martha for captaining.  
• Mens A Team - A slightly disappointing season hindered by injuries, a key team member moving to France, multiple postponed matches due to the weather and further difficulties rescheduling with the best players. It happens, roll on next year! Thanks to Graeme for captaining in less-than-ideal circumstances.
• Mens B Team - Runner up in the Men's 2nd Division. Thanks to Dave for Captaining.
• Mens C Team - Runner up in the Men's 4th Division. Great to see a lot of new members playing in this team. Thanks to Andy for Captaining.
• First Mixed Team - Just like last year, our team led the 1st Division for much of the season but were pushed back into second place in the very last match. Thanks to Di for captaining despite not being able to play herself because of injury for much of the season.  
• Second Mixed Team - Runner up in the Mixed 2nd Division. Thanks to Caz for captaining.  

Club Championships 2024

Finals weekend served up some challenging weather but most matches got played, albeit in some gale force winds!
