ist1_794750_angled_tennis ...the 'Autumn Afternoon' was (again!) blessed with glorious sunshine and an excellent entry of 58 players!

The Stockport Express trophies were up for grabs and some top tennis saw John Abbott & Adam Tomlinson (Greave/Davenport) take the U18s from runners up Charlotte Sykes & Sally Lynn (Davenport/Ryecroft) - the girls once again competing strongly in the boys event!

The U15 Boys event saw a strong field reduced to a final between Matt Laird & Lewis Newstead (Macclesfield) and the home pairing of Keiran Cronin & Angus Roberts - Matt and Lewis running out worthy winners!

The final match in the Girls U12s group saw both the top pairs with three wins out of three - the Stockport Express trophy awaiting the winners - the home pair of Gabby McKeever & Erica Sanders taking top prize from runners up Rona Mackenzie & Eilidh Gawley (Northern).

The afternoon was completed with the presentation of prizes to this year's Grand Prix prize winners!

Well done to John Abbott, Marcus McNulty, Eilidh Gawley and Lucas Taylor!

Thanks to all at Bramhall Lane for hosting a very successful event!

And so the 2008 season comes to an end - the 50th Annual Tournament year and the largest one day tournament programme yet!

Thanks to all the players and their entourages that have made the season so successful and to all the clubs and their teams who have been so hospitable to us.

Thanks to all the League teams, players and junior organisers and helpers who make our League such a strong presence in the area giving hundreds of junior players their first taste of competitive tennis!

And finally, thanks to all the members of the League Committee who keep the whole thing moving throughout the year - time to put our feet up for a few weeks before the preparations start for next year!

See you all in 2009 - the AGM/Fixtures Meeting is set for Tuesday 10 February - bet you can't wait!

ist1_545958_tennis_net ...and the sun shone down on us all on the wonderful lawns of Bowdon LTC as the One Day Tournament team pitched up to get the first Junior League event at Bowdon under way!

A superb entry of 56 players made the most of the fine conditions and served up a fine days' tennis - matched by the Bowdon catering team who served up some equally fine refreshments!

The Myra Nevett Trophy went to the winners of the U18 Boys event - John Abbott and Adam Tomlinson (Greave/Davenport) who fought off a strong challenge from the Mellor pairing of Marcus McNulty and James Russell.

Sadly, once again, the U18 Girls entry comprised only one pair - the redoubtable Charlotte Sykes and Sally Lynn, who again battled bravely against the boys!

The U15 Girls saw Lauren Hepburn and Chloe Chan (Hale Barns) dominate the event with the home pairing of Grace Breen and Lucy Hyde in runners-up spot.

The Northern overcame Didsbury in the Boys U15s with Ross Mackenzie and James Donnelly getting the better of brothers Martin and Robert Benson-May, whilst the U12 Boys saw a home win with Tom Warren and Miles Safiruddin from the Bowdon club taking first place with the Alderley Edge pair of Michael Leatherbarrow and James Ruddock in second.

An impressive line up in the U12 Girls event completed the day with a final that went to the very last sudden death point! Manon Steyaert and Megan Johns (Alderley Edge) just scraped home over Eilidh Gawley and Rona Mackenzie (Northern) in an exciting decider!

Thanks are due to the members of Bowdon LTC for making their marvellous facilities available to our event and to the helpers on the day who put in a fine effort and made us all very welcome!

It was also great to see so many new faces - we hope you enjoyed some competitive tennis and we hope you will join us at Bramhall Lane at 12.30 on Sunday 12 October for our 'Autumn Afternoon' tournament.

Boys and Girls doubles for U18, U15 and U12 age groups - the last event of the 2008 Programme!
