The Avenue Tennis club was the venue for the Somerset Over 45’s third of 4 county matches against a strong Devon side.  The Somerset team comprised Glen Pigden from the Avenue together with Paul David (Minehead), James Buckle (Nether Stowey) and Neil Driver (Millfield).  Despite some good games and lots of effort from the Somerset team they went down 5 rubbers to 0.  Their final match will be played on 5^th Sep against Dorset at the prestigious West Hants Rackets Club – let’s hope that they do a little better this time.

Following the success of the Avenue;s Junior Tennis Camp the club is running another week of Tennis Training and Coaching for the last week of the summer holiday from Monday 23^rd Aug to Friday 27^th Aug; details and application forms are available on the website  www.avenuetennis.com; parents are advised to book early to avoid any disappointment.

Entry forms are available from the club or the website for the two August Open Tennis Tournaments for adults (11^th Aug – 15^th Aug) and juniors (16^th – 21^st Aug).  The bar will be open during the tournaments serving hot and cold food so why not pop down and watch some good live tennis at the Avenue Tennis Club during your lunch breaks or during the day.
