Juniors begin pool ties

12:10pm Thursday 11th March 2010

THE Prudden Junior Summer Tennis League competition gets underway tomorrow (Friday) with free entry to teams aged 12 years old and under as at March 1.

The league welcomes new teams Alcester ‘B’, Claverdon ‘B’, Studley ‘B’ plus new clubs Littleton and Moreton-in-the-Marsh.

The competition takes the format of four pools, each consisting of four teams, geographically local to each other, who each take it in turn to host a pool clash every month between March and June.

Pools will be played on a round- robin basis with one pair of juniors from each club, one set each match (tie break normally at 6-6), allowing three sets/matches per team per pool night.

On Monday, July 12, there will be a semi-finals pool night at a Bidford-on-Avon Club between the winning teams from each of the four pools.

The top two teams from this pool will then go on to play in a full cup final, to be played at Stratford-on-Avon Tennis Club on Sunday, August 29, at the men’s league all day pairs tournament and annual presentation.

Pool ‘C’ starts tomorrow when Chipping Campden host.
