The inter-league challenge match was won convincingly by the Swindon & District League. The men won 8-0 and the Ladies 6-2, with Lucy Roze and Becky Prince winning all four of their sets.
Well done to all the players and supporters.
Welcome to the new web site. We hope it adds to your enjoyment of league tennis. Please note that this is an additional communication channel and will not replace the regular results e-mail .
You will see that some areas are more finished than others - for instance, we have only posted club contact details where the individual has authorised it so, if your club has no details, please let us know what to post.
We welcome any feedback, ideas or information for posting on the site. We intend to change the photo on the home page regularly so please send any (tennis related) photo for consideration. Perhaps we could aim to include a photo of every club over the course of a year.
