Burnham-On-Sea’s Avenue Tennis Club coaches Vinny Duddy and Barry Ramsden have congratulated the club’s tennis teams who have achieved success in the North Somerset Tennis League.
The Burnham club’s Men’s A team retained their place in the 3rd Division after just narrowly missing promotion.
The Men’s B team were promoted to the 4th Division, coming a close second to Lympsham and with captain Kevin Burrow playing in some matches with his son Harry. The Men’s C team came 4th in the 7th Division, retaining their league position.
The new men’s D team came 4th in the 8th Division; with new member Alex Patel captaining the team in his first season of competitive tennis.
The Ladies A team faced some very tough competition during the season and after coming 5th in division 3 will unfortunately be demoted to division 4.
The Ladies B team came 5th in Division 7 and fielded several new tennis players throughout the season together with some other players dusting off their rackets to ensure the games were completed.
