LTA JUNIOR COUNTY CUP
County Cup events give players the opportunity to represent their county in team competition in national/regional stages. Events are held at different times of the year and in order to compete players have to be selected by their county. Dorset also arranges friendly matches against other local counties for players in County Training.
