Brigg Tennis Club, which uses the fine facilities provided by North Lincolnshire Council at the town's Recreation Ground, has made a successful start to the 2022 league season, as well as offering coaching and welcoming prospective new members.
Our thanks go to Ali Sharp for this update and for supplying the pictures seen here...
With the 2022 tennis season under way, Brigg have made a good competitive start in the Gainsborough Evening League.
Brigg 3 versus Brigg 4 in Division Four kicked off the season, with Brigg 3 edging a win.
Brigg 2 and Brigg 1 also won their first games in Divisions Three and Two respectively.
Brigg have also entered the men’s weekend Lindum League for the first time, and lost out narrowly on a tiebreak in their first match against Grimsby.
An influx of new players has meant good competition for team places and a great atmosphere at training.
Club member Jonathan Turner has secured some sponsorship for playing strip this season for all four teams and we are grateful for the support of the following local/Brigg businesses for providing each team with 10 smart playing shirts.
Brigg 1: Turner Warran Accountants.
Brigg 2: The Vault – new bar opening soon in the Market Place.
Brigg 3: EC Surfacing, together with Pip’s Kitchen, based at Brigg Town Football Club.
Brigg 4: Paperweight Accounts Ltd, from Grimsby.
Junior coaching is already well under way with weekly sessions and is a great introduction to tennis for youngsters from the age of five.
For newcomers, the first session is free to see if they would like to take up the sport.
If you would like play tennis, please come down and see us at a club session - Sunday mornings, Tuesday from 4.30pm, Friday from 6pm - where you will be made very welcome.
