Communication

A Message from the Match Secretary

It seems sad that we have to remind member clubs that it is only courteous to contact opponents in reasonable time if, for whatever reason, you are unable to fulfil a fixture. This season has seen too many occasions when teams have failed to turn up at all - leaving junior players without a match and the aggravation and disappointment that that causes. This does only harm to the future of junior tennis and is the fastest way to lose the parental support which is essential to the progress of young players at our clubs. As a League Committee we inevitably find it difficult to propose sanctions as we want to avoid anything which could ultimately reduce playing opportunities for juniors - our only hope is that all member clubs take on board the importance of organisation, communication and, if nothing else, courtesy, in order to make sure our junior players benefit from the opportunities that we are trying to facilitate.

Thank you

Knutsford One Day Tournament

Another beautiful day for the Knutsford One Day Tournament - 42 players enjoyed some great tennis in the sunshine! In the U12 section 10 pairs were split into two round robin groups with the top 3 in each group progressing to the knock out stages. The form held up in the semis - the two group winners reaching the final - with the home club pairing of James Clewlow and Alex Pierce edging past Bramhall Lane's Max Hanson & Sam Carpenter to take the top prize.
The U15 boys and girls split into two groups with the girls topping each group. The Northern's Faye Worrall & Eilidh Gawley fell at the semi final stage but Alderley Edge's Emily Spencer & Ava Johnson reached the final and had chances in a tight match but the Bramhall Queensgate team of Sam Hanson & Jonny Hall won the day.
The U18s were joined by three U15 teams, producing some excellent tennis for the crowd to enjoy. Rob & Martin Benson-May (Didsbury) came out on top, retaining their title, with Knutsford's Jack Farell & Ed Crowther in runners up. The U15s were headed by Bramhall Lane's Kieran Cronin & Yannick Ali-Simeon with Ryecroft's Faris McGrath & Joppe Meulensteen in runners up.
