After more than 3 months of matches, the club's annual singles and doubles tournaments are drawing to a close. We are guaranteed a new singles champion this year, with Sally Brunner facing off against Andy Wells in the final. Sally Brunner will also feature with her doubles partner, Chris Gregory, in the Tombola versus Club Chairman Jeremy Hamer and his doubles partner, Andy Hopkins. This year, we'll be holding a Finals Day with free pizza, Pimm's and cake for all members who would like to come down and watch the championships matches. If you are planning to attend, please email Alison McBarron via alison.mcbarron@yahoo.co.uk so we have a rough idea of numbers and can cater accordingly.

Every year, Marnhull Tennis Club awards accolades to two juniors who best embody the ethos of the club. This year, the John Seear Cup was awarded to Alex Carr for his tenacity, dedication and determination in greatly improving his technique and form. Eva Bryce won the Helen Butler Acorn Cup for her commitment to tennis, kindness and helpfulness to others.

Speaking of our junior members, our summer practice sessions have been a huge success, and we have had many requests for them to continue over the autumn and winter seasons. In response, we have decided to offer junior lessons from September 2, led by club coach Graham Howell. These will take place every Tuesday across two ages groups and cost £5 per session.
