August 2015


Essex Ladies Over 35's were in action once again in the  Women’s 35’s Inter-County Championships, Devonshire Park, Eastbourne, over the weekend of August 7-9 2015.

As always, it was a pleasure to return to Eastbourne. We couldn’t have asked for better conditions, the sun shone every day and the courts were in great condition.  Similar to last year, Essex didn’t manage to get promoted to group one, however, we came a very close second (to Devon) and will remain in group two in 2016.

The team set off from various points in Essex to meet up at the Avenue Club in Havant at 3.30pm on Sunday afternoon for practise. The opposition looked strong but hopes were high for survival.

Despite a valiant effort the Essex Ladies Team suffered through injuries and found themselves relegated to Group 3. However, team spirit prevailed and they will be back!

The Marconi Tennis Club Junior Open Tournament was held over 3 days and apart from one afternoon of torrential rain, in good weather.  The courts were excellent, as were the other facilities at the Club.
