County Championships
The Norfolk Junior County Championships, always held in the last week of August, fall at the end of the county summer season. The emphasis is to bring together players of all ages and abilities from across Norfolk. Norfolk Tennis has collaborated with past and present hosts, East Anglia Tennis & Squash Club (to 2019) and Easton Tennis Centre (since 2021), to stage the annual championships.
First held in 1923, with more singles and doubles events added over the past century, the Norfolk County Championships is an LTA-affiliated Grade 3 tournament that is open to any player currently living in the county. Entries are open to children aged 8 and under, and adults.
A number of players, who have earned junior and senior international honours, have competed in the Norfolk County Championships, including Dorothy Cunliffe Shepherd-Barron, Gordon Fitt, Sue Rich, Jane Ling, Amanda Brown, Judy Horn, Chris Bailey, Stuart Silvester, Tom Spinks, Richard Bloomfield, Pippa Horn and Olivia Nicholls.
