Recently re-established tennis club, Llantwit Major TC will be hosting its first league team tennis match in over 10 years. The match will take place on the courts next to Llantonion Hall at 10am on Sunday 25th September. The club is looking for as much support as possible to cheer on the team and witness the historic occasion.

LMTC was reformed in July of this year thanks to the efforts of a group of volunteers, Llantwit Major Town Council and local coaching provider Vale Tennis Academy. The club decided to enter Tennis Wales’ Mixed Doubles Winter League to put the club back on the tennis map competing against teams from all over South Wales. The winter league season will run up until March 2017 and details of all the club’s fixtures can be found on its website – www.llantwittennis.co.uk. The fixture on Sunday is billed to be the start of a great friendly rivalry against Barry Community Tennis Club, another local club that was set-up as part of Vale Tennis Academy’s Park Tennis Programme. After the match both teams and spectators have been invited to celebrate at the rugby club next door.

Over the last couple of months LMTC’s membership base has steadily grown but to achieve its aim of replacing the current court surface will require more members to sign up. The club meet up every Friday evening and Saturday afternoon from 2pm for social tennis and there is coaching for children every Saturday morning. Joining Llantwit Major TC is great value, at £20 for adults and just £10 for juniors you will get free access to the courts, attend weekly social sessions for free, discounted rates on coaching and you will be able to go into our Wimbledon ticket ballot!
