The Men’s 1st Team won Adult Team of the Year as well as the trophy for Summer and Winter County League doubles and the Mixed 40/45 Team took the Mike Comber Cup as County Champions. Tom Burke won the Howard Robbins Award for outstanding sportsmanship both on and off court. The Club has also achieved Tennismark accreditation for 2015 – this has been both a successful and satisfying year for The Weald

Play in Winter League matches continued with just two matches last weekend. The Men’s 5th Team played Wickwoods 3rd Team with Peter Cuthbertson and Colin Titshall having a very close match against Robert Hempenstall & Michael Billington, the Wickwoods pair taking it 7-5, 7-5.
