After several years in the fourth division of the Men's Huddersfield Tennis League, the team has gained promotion after a hard fight. The season started poorly losing to Tingley, as the team struggled to find members who were free on Tuesday evenings. However, the team rapidly established itself with a stable team, and in spite of a couple of hard fought draws, finished runners up to Livesedge C, only the number of sets won separating them. So congratulations to Julian Parr and the other team members, their success follows that of the Boys in the Junior league.
Sadly the Ladies A team were relegated from the Ladies' first division after just one season in the top flight, but they are not dishearted and will be fighting their way back next season. Meanwhile the Ladies B team finished mid table in Division 3, where they won seven of their fourteen games. It was heartening to see some of the new members the club has recruited playing for the team.
With a large number of new men players having joined the club there are hopes that it can enter a new B team into the league next year. Potential new members can come down to the club for men's team practice on Tuesday evenings or to club night on Wednesdays from 6 pm.
The next social event will be the annual barbecue on Saturday 10th September. As the final social event of the year we hope there will be a good turn out of members and indeed anyone wishing to come along. If you would like to come please let us know to assist catering.
