🏆Our first ever Cleveland League campaign got under way last week.

🎾 The A team got us started with a tough trip to Eldon Grove in Division 2 and despite a few very close games came away with a 8-1 defeat, well done to Chris and Ste for winning a point.

🎾 On Thursday the C team had an equally tough looking match at home to recently relegated Norton and narrowly lost a close encounter 5-4. Great work from Shaun and Michael who picked up 2 wins.

🎾 That left the B team to play late into the evening on Friday in division 4. And they came through 7-2 against David Lloyd D. Maximum points from Hieu, Darren, Adi and Jamie.

Our cup match was a victim of the weather and will be moved to next week instead and all 3 teams play again later this week.

With the league season about to start, last week Yarm hosted us for a pre-season friendly so we could get back into the swing of things.

We won't mention the result (well done to Yarm!) but great to get some practice for the season ahead.

Last week we ran our first club social event. Great to see all the courts in use and lots of new faces, with the tennis continuing until the night drew in and bad light stopped play.

Little tour of the courts, which are looking great, certainly got Isla's approval! She's doing the camera work next time she says...

And just like that we have a tennis club in Peterlee! We aren't spoiled for choice with photos just yet so Kieran, Tom, Joe and Ben are the stars of our first post (well done chaps)!

If you fancy joining us for a game, no matter what your level, then get in touch.

Here's to a great year of tennis with many more to follow.
