The Championships were played over the two weekends of the 17th & 18th and 24th & 25th March on the indoor courts at David Lloyd, Cheshire Oaks, Ellesmere Port. A good sized entry across the age ranges resulted in many well contested matches, which were all played in an excellent spirit. Special thanks go to David Lloyd for hosting the event, as well as Referee Brian Carr, and members of the County Competitions & Tournaments Committee who were responsible for the smooth running of the tournament.
