ARC Team Tennis End of Season Report 2021
October marked the end of the North Devon Tennis league for 2021. Covid restrictions led to an abbreviated season this year with teams playing 50% of the matches they would usually play, but this didn’t dampen the excitement of our players who were delighted to return to competitive Tennis after the events of 2020.
A total of 90 Tennis & Premium members represented team ARC this season across the various divisions and events. Relative success was shared by the majority of teams but particular emphasis must be applied to the Ladies’ Open A and Ladies’ Open C teams who both completed the ‘clean sweep’ winning both their division and the cup event that partners it. Likewise the Men’s Open A and Men’s Open E teams managed to gain second place in both of their division and cup events respectively. Winning success was found also by our Ladies’ Vet’s A team who won their division and the mixed doubles Houldsworth Cup A Team who became Runner’s Up.
Team Tennis Captains Lottie Miles, Tom Farnell & Alex Wingent said: “Overall a very good season for all involved considering the conditions and the struggle for players. Everyone we’ve spoken to seems to have enjoyed the season and were very glad to be back to competitive tennis. We’re hoping to have even more players interested in representing ARC next season and helping us achieve some even better results”.
We’d like to say a huge congratulations to everyone who took park in the league this year and represented team ARC so well. Now get booking those indoor courts and keep practicing over the winter ready for 2022!
