Aegon Team Tennis Warwickshire 2017
I am pleased to report that Warwickshire received 297 entries for this event. (Up from 277 in 2016). 5 new venues have entered the competition; the most new venues in the country other than Surrey with 8. The increase of entries by 20 was the fourth biggest increase behind Hampshire and Avon (24) and Scotland East (23).
A few of the events started in early April, but the competition really gets going this weekend!
