Prudden Road Surfacing League

14/2/2008 - Yet Another Record Entry to Prudden Road Surfacing Tennis League

The Prudden Road Surfacing Tennis League will hold it's Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 26th February, 2008, at 7.30pm, at the Royal British Legion Club, Bidford-on-Avon. Even after the last two year's record number applying to join, this year smashes that record so much so that a new Division Five is being created for the 2008 season. Although the league lost Shipston A from the Premier Division with all those players moving on to different climes, four new teams have applied to join. The new teams will be Alcester C, Chipping Campden C, Inkberrow D and Shipston B who enter a young and inexperienced side at the bottom. They are joined in forming the new Division Five by Bidford C and HDA B of Redditch, who both finished at the bottom of Division 4 last year. This gives a total of 43 teams with 6 divisions in total from the Premier Divisions and Divisions One through to Five.

This Mens' Doubles Summer Tennis League covers the South Warwickshire and district areas of the midlands including parts of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire and also runs a one-day end-of-season tournament and an inter-league Charity Cup Final. The league also enters for a fifth season a Junior League which begins a month earlier in March and consists of 16 teams from 15 clubs divided into four pools.

The League continues to be backed by the Redditch company Prudden Road Surfacing, who begin their twelfth year of sponsorship, and also donate the £500 main prize to charity in the Charity Cup Final held in June. Bardon Aggregates of Redditch have also agreed to donate £50 cheques to each Divisional winner the proceeds to be used to promote Junior tennis. Tony King of Alcester has again promised financial backing for the annual Pairs Tournament for the 18th year in a row, while Paul Bruner of Shopfittings & Equipment, Bidford-on-Avon enters his final year of a four year deal for sponsorship of the Tournament balls.

All Clubs wishing to enter the league in 2008 are required under the rules to send a representative to the meeting. Free refreshments will be supplied following the event.
