Also, thankyou to everyone who attended the presentation evening and made it a fun and enjoyable experience. The quiz was a lot of fun, and the abundance of pasties were very enjoyable. I have put some photos from the evening on the right side of the site. You may have to scroll down if you are viewing on a smartphone in portrait view. It’s better viewed in landscape view.

Further to my email of 27th August, 2021,
I can now inform you that the price of the tickets for the Walkden League Tennis Presentation on Friday 8th October 2021 will be £5.00 per person.
There will also be a pasty and pea supper.
For those of you who have indicated that you wish to attend, can you let me know as soon as possible if anyone from your club will require the vegetarian option. This will will be cheese pasty instead of potato & meat. Any other club members still wishing to attend please let me know for catering purposes.
Will all clubs please note that you are expected to donate a raffle prize which should be brought on the night or for those not attending to be given to Pauline Ashton or Caroline Whelan beforehand.
Any club who has still not returned a trophy to Caroline Whelan please do so as a matter of urgency. They have to be sent for engraving before the presentation. Any not returned will not be able to be presented on the night.
We look forward to seeing you all on the night.

Acting Secretary Walkden Tennis League

Hi everyone,

I do hope that you have enjoyed the tennis season, which unfortunately has now come to an end.

Claremont Tennis Club have offered to host a Presentation evening. The suggested date is Friday 8th October 2021.

Please can you have a word with your members and ask who would be interested in attending the presentation evening.

Once we know that we have a good number to proceed, further details will follow – cost, supper etc.

If your club is still in possession of a trophy from the 2019 season, can you please return it to Caroline Whelan of Claremont Tennis Club as soon as possible.

Please can you let me know how many tickets you are likely to require by Friday 10th September.

Many Thanks

Pauline Ashton

Acting Secretary Walkden Tennis League

Congratulations to Ellesmere A (Both Men and Ladies) for winning the Division One Cup.

Congratulations to Claremont A Men for winning the Division Two Cup.
The ladies final wasn’t able to be played due to the condition of the courts.
I will update this post next week, when the match has been played.
If the victorious Claremont A men want to send me a picture of the team, I will add that to this post.

After weeks of cancellations due to bad weather, the Division 2 ladies final was finally played last night. After a close match, David Lloyd B ladies won by 27 games to 20. Congratulations to David Lloyd B ladies.

Congratulations to Ellesmere B winning for Division 3.

The cup match dates are now: First round 14/07/2021, Semi-final 28/07/2021, and the final should be played on the 04/08/2021.

Congratulations to Ellesmere A (Division 1 winners) and David Lloyd B (Division 2 winners). The fixtures for division 3 haven’t been completed yet.

Only divisions 1 and 2 have cup fixtures this year.

Unfortunately, Markland Hill will not be entering a team this year.
