County Teams

One of the key areas of Dorset Tennis & Padel’s activity is the selection, training and fielding of teams to represent Dorset in inter-county events (e.g. County Cup). The Inter County Cup gives players at all age groups, the opportunity to represent their county and to enjoy some competitive padel within a team environment.

This year, Dorset entered men's teams into the UK Padel County Championships for the O60s event and men's and mixed teams into the Open UK Padel County Championships, 15th/16th November which both took place at Rocket Padel in Bristol.   Reports below.

Both teams hit the court on Saturday with our Mixed team up first against Lancashire.  A brilliant effort from the team who came out strong with a 2-0 win.  A hard fought match followed against Middlesex, who edged the win.

Our Men’s team enjoyed an awesome first day with back-to-back wins vs Hampshire and Scotland South.  Sunday morning, the team kicked things off with a thriller against Lincolnshire.  With the match at 2-2, it all came down to a nail-biting tie-break……………….. and Dorset smashed it!  A battle for a place in the Main Draw followed vs Middlesex.  Intense rallies, huge energy and yet another tie-break!  Middlesex just edged it 11-9 but a brilliant 2nd place for Dorset in the Group.

Massive shoutout to BOTH our Men’s and Mixed teams – outstanding effort, teamwork, and spirit from everyone.
