Latest News - May 2025

  1. The Shaftesbury League season is about to get underway, with matches taking place throughout the summer. This year, Marnhull has entered 3 teams across 2 divisions, with more people than ever before taking part in the competitive action.

  2. Speaking of competitive action, we're currently scouting for the best young members aged between 12 and 17 years old to play for the club in a series of doubles matches. It's a great way for our juniors to develop teamwork while making great memories. As a bonus, those selected will receive 6 free coaching lessons from club coach Graham Howell.

  3. Our annual club tournaments are currently in progress, culminating in the championship finals on September 6. You can follow along with both the singles and the Tombola as the draw unfolds.

  4. The inaugural box league is reaching its closing stages. Despite a few teething problems, it's been a popuular initiative and we hope to hold a second round soon, so stay tuned for more information.

  5. Whether you are playing for the club or just want some stylish new tenniswear, Marnhull has branded polos, T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, skorts and caps for men, women and children. Check out the shop to find out more.

  6. In recognition of his hard work as club chairman, Jeremy Hamer has received the Dorset Volunteer of the Year award from the LTA! Jeremy has spearheaded one of the club’s most ambitious projects in recent years with the installation of the court floodlights, as well as throwing his support behind an expanded calendar of social events, the burgeoning juniors programme and more competitive club tennis, among many other initiatives.
