The 8U Mini Red team won all their matches in finishing top of their area league and finished third in the regional final only being beaten by Solihull Arden. The squad was Harley Hobbs – Jones, Hannah Beirne, Mia Enright, Daniel Lee and Christian Harris. Congratulations to all involved!
Congratulations to Helen Hill who was voted Hereford and Worcester Volunteer of The Year for 2011. Helen has been a member of Wythall Tennis Club for 40 years serving on the committee numerous times, never losing her enthusiasm for the sport or club. In 2007 she became ladies captain, with so many experienced ladies retiring there was concern for the future of ladies league tennis. Through her commitment the ladies team continued and there is now a second team for 2012. Helen remains an inspiration to everyone at the club.

The Warwickshire LTA invited 30 juniors from the club to spend the day at the Women’s Aegon Classic tournament on June 7th at the Edgbaston Priory Club. For many it was their first experience of this level of tennis.
In addition to the visit the juniors had a great time enjoying a 45 minute session in the Highland Spring Kids Zone. Parents were welcome to attend and many took advantage of the offer. All the juniors were a credit to the club throughout the visit.
To celebrate the visit club polo shirts were designed and procured for the club by Larissa Hobbs-Jones. All the children looked very smart in their club shirts so thank you Larissa for all your efforts.
The latest Hereford & Worcestershire league tables for June place Wythall in 5th place for the county. Clubs are split between 3-5 courts and 6+ courts, as the larger clubs have more courts available for matches and other activities. Based on these criteria we were placed 2nd in the county in our category. Congratulations and a big thank you for the hard work of everyone involved.
Club coach Les Swaby is running free coaching sessions throughout the afternoon of the Carnival for adults and children. This includes the latest rackets which can be tried out during the session.
Maurice Robinson Sports will also attend with various types of sportswear for sale at discount prices.
So if you’d like the opportunity to try out the sport and have a go with the latest rackets come and visit us!
The Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run will be taking place on Sunday 20th June.

In the AEGON 8U league Wythall are second in their league. Their only defeat was away to leaders Worcester. The team recorded wins away at Droitwich and home against Inkberrow. Their final match is at home against Belbroughton. The 8U won the league in 2209 and with three of the squad now moving to 9U to be second is a testament to depth of junior tennis at Wythall.
The 9U team in the AEGON league are unbeaten and joint top with HDA who they play in the final match of the season on June 13th to decide who wins the league. The team had two good away wins at Belbroughton and Boughton beating Hallow and Ledbury at home.
