Junior News

Martin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 07:24:11 +0000

The season is only just underway & Lymm teams have already had some great wins. In the Aegon U8s we beat Knutsford 20-12 & our U12s beat Hale 8-4.
Many of our Mini Tennis players are performing really well in tournaments around the county. Mikolaj Underwood won his first Gold medal for winning the recent red event at Birchwood. Congratulations also to Freddy Garbutt who won a bronze medal for coming third in last Sundays Lymm event.
There is now a competition circuit in Warrington for U8s, U9s, U10s & U12s. Results from events played throughout the borough are collated & points awarded to the highest placed players. All players who have won points will appear on the Tennis Warrington Leaderboard which can be found at http://www.leisurewarrington.co.uk/tennis-warrington.html under ‘Competitions/Matches’
I’m starting a junior ladder, similar to the men’s ladder that has been running successfully for about a year now. It is open to any standard but the yellow ball will be used & all matches will be best of three sets which will preclude most players under the age of nine. Once this league has been established I will be starting a 9 & under league.
The spring/summer coaching programme is currently facing some challenging weather conditions but the children are still turning up in numbers & enjoying every minute. Optima Tennis runs courses seven days a week & lessons are now available for toddlers aged 2-4 years. For details of the coaching programme at the club please email steve@optimatennis.co.uk or visit www.optimatennis.co.uk .

Mens Team Tennis August end of season update

Gents,

thanks for your participation, sweat, tears and technique during this season.

Lymm has enjoyed an overall good season and you’ve contibuted to that.

In the Dunlop Warrington and District League the 1st team finished runners-up to Lane1. The 2nd team had a healthy season and finished 5th. The 3rd team and 4th teams were relegated from Division 2 disappointingly. The 5th team WON Division 4. The 6th team assisted the 5th team in Division 4 by picking up valuable points and staying in the division. The 7th team finished sixth and the 8th team finished fifth in Divisions 5 and 6 respectively.

In the Slazenger North East Cheshire League, the 1st team narrowly missed promotion and finished 3rd in Division 1. The 2nd team WON promotion by finished second in Division 5. The 3rd team had another good season and finished second in Division 6b.

So some really strong performances and quite a lot of flexibility needed this season as we had less players to select from.

We’ll take stock and look at this season to plan for next season.

Once again, thank-you for representing Lymm and I hope that you’ve enjoyed competitive tennis in 2011.

Mike
Lymm LT&CC Mens Captain
