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

Sale One Day Tournament
24 players enjoyed a good morning's tennis at Sale LTC on Sunday 11 July.
In the U12 event, Francesca Bailey and Jessica Webster (Bramhall Lane & Northern)headed the group stage with three wins over the boys. Max Hanson and Milo Kelly (Bramhall Lane) just edged the final deciding set on a tie break - two pairs of winners on the day!
Prestbury's Holly Burton & Lucy Denton put up a strong showing finishing third in the U15 Boys event - well done girls! The top prize went to Bramhall Lane's Kieran Cronin and Yannick Al-Simoen, with the David Lloyd pairing of Jake Henderson and Joppe Meulensteen in runners up spot.
Bramhall Lane's Kim Lawrence and Amanda Bennison bravely joined two boys teams in the U18s section but were unable to prevent Marcus McNulty and Simon Pattinson (Mellor/MCTC)running out winners with Ryecroft's Faris McGrath and Niku Ghaemi the runners up.
