Frampton-on-Severn Tennis club was invited to take part in a very unique tennis challenge to help raise funds to enable the club to provide disabled access and tennis facilities for disability tennis.

On weekend of 20 and 21st February 8 of our members Mike John, Giovanni Sangovanni, Ellie Merrett, Kate Merrett, John Brierly, Kieran Bartlet, Paul Boon and Jason Boon from Frampton-on-Severn Tennis Club took part in a 24 hour tennis marathon at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, playing against ex Davis Cup players Danni Sapsford, Luke Milligan, Dan Lobb and Jeremey Bates. The effort from 8 of our members has raised over £3000 for the club. John Brierly and Jason Boon also managed to raise  more money by hitting serves reaching speeds of 90MPH

Lesley Cook also took part in tennis coaching masterclass which was lead by Danny Sapsford and is now our clubs expert on how to approach the net and hit that winning volley. We look forward to seeing that put into play at Frampton!
