It might not
have felt like it recently but the tennis season will soon be under way and the
fixture lists for the 2013 Leicestershire County Doubles Leagues are out.
Oaks and
District Tennis Club will be fielding two teams in the Men’s League, one team
in the Ladies League and a Ladies Team in the Vets League.
Last season
the Ladies Team did really well, finishing second in their division. This placing earned them promotion from
division 6 to division 5 so this season promises to bring new challenges. Eight years ago the club had been unable to
field a Ladies team for over 13 years and it took 3 years before we recorded
our first win. Since then the
improvement has been steady. We would
love to be able to field a second Ladies team next year and are keen to recruit
new players to complement the current team and to help form a second team.
This will be
the second season that we have entered a Ladies Vets team and the standard in
this league is very high. Any lady over
40 is eligible to play.
Last year our
Men’s Teams had mixed results due to a plague of injuries coupled with a number
of players moving out of the area. Our
first team will still be playing in division 6 this season but our second team
will now be playing in division 8. This
gives a great opportunity for any new players to come along and swell our
ranks.
Anyone
interested in joining the club and playing for the teams should contact LadiesTeam@OaksTennis.co.uk or MensTeam@OaksTennis.co.uk .
