Thank you to all the Captains for all the time and effort put into getting teams out for the matches, some of which are quite a distance to travel, and also to the players for playing and representing the county.
Seniors Tennis competitions are open to all levels of players aged 35 & over.
Competitions run in five-year age gaps and players first become eligible to compete when they are in their 35th year. After that you can move upwards through the five-year age groups, always from the year in which you attain your new age. There are formal competitions you can compete in right up to the 85+ age group.
