Kenton Lawn Tennis Club

Finals Day

Next Saturday September 14th is our tennis finals day, the biggest event of the year for our club.   Over the last 3 months all the club tournaments have been in progress – this incorporates 20+ categories with the main “Open” competitions accompanied by age group categories ranging from under 8s to veterans.   The finals of all these competitions are played on Finals Day in an extravaganza of tennis, with matches starting from 9am and carrying on until late afternoon.   The bar will be open from 3pm and coffee, sandwiches and cake will also be available during the day (please bring some cash for these). 

The action on the tennis courts is followed by our presentation evening (starting at 7pm) when all the silverware is given out to the winners and runners up, plus some special awards for most improved players.   

All club members and their families and friends are most welcome to come and watch the tennis and join the evening presentation session irrespective of whether you are involved in a match or not.   It’s a great way to meet other members.  Feel free to bring picnics during the day and deckchairs if you want a comfy seat, and of course you can come down for as long or as a short time as you like.
