TAVISTOCK Tennis Club were very well represented amongst the silverware won at the Plymouth & District Summer League 2026 end-of-season event at Boringdon Golf Club on Thursday, November 4.

The junior B-team were runners-up in Division Two, unfortunately nobody from the team was able to attend so ladies’ captain Hilary Picton accepted the plaque on their behalf.

Leading from the front were the ladies team as the B-team won Division Three, the C-team took the title in Division Four and the E-team were Division Five champions.

This was the first time Tavistock had entered a fifth team in the league and there was no shortage of ladies wanting to play.

The A-team retained their position in the First Division and the D-Team did the same in Division Four.

There were individual merit award plaques for performances throughout the matches and Tavistock’s C-team captain Liz Webb took the honours in Div4 while her teammate Gemma Cleland was runner-up.

For contributions to charity, there were also two ‘Sporting Awards’ one of which went to Tavistock for hosting the inaugural ‘Handicapped Tournament’ in which mixed doubles pairs competed using a sliding handicap system intended to even up matches.

A special mention went to Tavistock’s chairman Stuart Borthwick and membership administrator Wendy George for organising the day as well as an appreciation to all who provided the refreshments which were very much enjoyed. Hilary Picton accepted the award on behalf of the club.

Tavistock Tennis Club continues to draw in new members by offering a wide range of social sessions and competitive events as well as coaching provided by the Top Bounce team. All levels of play from beginner to advanced are catered for and the eight courts (four astro and four hard) are always busy. Courts one and two are available for ‘pay and play’ via the website.
