Winter League

Wetherby Tennis Club run their own Winter League for clubs in the area that may not have floodlights and who are keen to keep their competitive tennis going even during the depths of winter.

Mike Triffitt has taken over the running from Ian Teasdale who ran this very successful league for 6 years and we start our 13th term this winter . We are running two Divisions with five teams in Division 1 and six in the second tier. Division One winners will be the Winter League Champions with the team finishing bottom replaced by the Division Two winners the following season.
