On Sunday 3rd November 24 ladies from local tennis clubs came together at Somer Valley Tennis Club  to ‘Wear it Pink’ in aid of Breast Cancer Now.  Hosted by Somer Valley Tennis Club on the indoor courts at Writhlington, a fun tennis tournament was held with ladies coming from clubs including Camvale, Bishop Sutton and Beckington.

Said tournament organiser Jenny Perez ' last year we received funding to promote and give access to Women & Girls to tennis in the Norton Radstock area.  It was a hugely successful project with a number of ladies joining our club who now play regularly every week.   The tournament was an enjoyable and fun event, so we repeated it again this year, with the players contributing to court costs and we still raised £170 for Breast Cancer Now’

The winning pair were Janie Bullus & Imogen Lines, narrowly beating Lis Leatham & Jane Benney in a championship tiebreak that went to 12-10.   Said Mandy Stonier chair of Somer Valley Tennis Club ‘ we are so pleased that tennis is still a sport being enjoyed by so many people across the Somer Valley area, the local clubs and us are at the forefront of increasing participation for both juniors and adults’
