‼️We need your help!‼️Our Crowdfunder page is now live and we have 40 days to try and raise £25,000 to cover the cost of heightening the fence between our tennis courts and the cricket pitch. For the safety of anyone who uses our courts, it’s crucial we try and raise as much as possible so we can do this work. We’re working in partnership with Sport England and if we get a minimum of 25 supporters and raise at least £10,000 then Sport England will match with another £10,000. There are plenty of rewards for supporters generous enough to donate, including 2 & 4 year membership offers for ABSTC, Bristol Golf Club discount and vouchers for days out. Head to our website or follow the link in the email shared to members to donate before our rewards disappear! https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fundraiser-to-improve-our-tennis-club-safety-1?utm_campaign=thanksShare&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=shareto #

🏆 WHAT A FINALE TO THE LEAGUE SEASON! 🏆

The final match night was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions across all of our teams, but in true club fashion, we wrapped it up with great food, better company, and a fantastic night under the lights! 🌭🌅

Here is how the final scores rolled in:

The Men’s Teams:
🟢 Men’s 1st & 2nd: Absolute dominance! Both teams cruised to flawless 10-0 victories to finish on a massive high.
🔴 Men’s 3rd: A devastating 8-2 loss in a brutal relegation battle. We win together, we lose together—we’ll be back stronger next year, boys.
🔴 Men’s 4th & 6th: Fought hard but both came away with 8-2 defeats.
🟢 Men’s 5th: Finished strong with a brilliant 8-2 win!

The Women’s Teams:
🔶 Women’s 1st: Despite a tough 8-2 loss in some incredibly close, nail-biting matches, they secured the vital points needed to STAY UP in their division! Job done! 🥳
🔴 Women’s 2nd & 3rd: A tough night at the office with both teams falling 10-0, but the effort was there until the very last point.

Win, lose, or draw, it was the perfect summer evening to close out the league. We celebrated (and commiserated) into the early hours with a mountain of hotdogs and plenty of laughs.

A massive thank you to everyone who played, supported, and helped out across the entire season. Bring on the next one! 🌭🍻🎾
