BRIGG FIRST TEAMERS WIN THEIR DIVISION


Brigg Tennis Club - based at the town's Recreation Ground - has been in touch with a September report featuring league successes and coaching sessions.

FROM ALI SHARP, BRIGG TENNIS CLUB


How special it was to watch Emma Radacanu and Joe Salisbury do so well in the US Open this year and hopefully this will inspire our next generation of players!  With British Tennis currently riding high, our Club welcomes any budding players, young or more senior to join in.
We have had another successful competitive season with the first team taking top spot in their division of the Gainsborough League meaning that they will be promoted to the second division for next season. They were triumphant in every league match they played! They also competed in the cup final and on an extremely hot day finished creditable runners up.  Two more teams entered the Gainsborough league and they played some very enjoyable competitive matches.
The juniors are a thriving section of our club and will continue with coaching until the end of October and restart in March. Many will continue to play throughout the winter months. Adult coaching will continue on Monday evenings weather permitting and Adam Wrightham our level 3 coach will continue to offer 1 to 1 sessions throughout the year.
Adult social session on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings continue to thrive and many players book courts and arrange games between themselves at other times. The men now have an additional session on Thursday evenings which is proving to be highly competitive.
Pictured are our first team after receiving their league winners trophies at the Gainsborough Tennis Club Presentation afternoon event.
