nationwide competition, and<br />
some of <strong>Surrey</strong>’s top teams will<br />

the f<strong>in</strong>al, w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g their regional<br />
group and beat<strong>in</strong>g some very<br />
strong teams along the way.<br />
Although they lost out <strong>in</strong> the<br />
Grand F<strong>in</strong>al to Northumberland<br />
on a shootout, their performance<br />
throughout the competition<br />
was exceptional and led to them<br />

their way past strong competition<br />
to capture the National Title.<br />
Team Manager Terry Oakes: “I<br />
am so proud of a group of young<br />
ladies who displayed phenomenal<br />
skill, determ<strong>in</strong>ation and, above all,<br />
team spirit. I should also like to<br />
commend all at Holcombe Brook<br />
for their graciousness and their<br />
part <strong>in</strong> what was a magnificent<br />
advert for the concept of Team<br />
<strong>Tennis</strong>.”<br />
As well as provid<strong>in</strong>g lots of<br />
matches for our players, we also<br />
encourage the competition to<br />
be played <strong>in</strong> good spirit so that<br />
players enjoy the experience and<br />
team environment that they are<br />
a part of. It was great to receive<br />
feedback from clubs about how<br />
they were made to feel welcome<br />
at matches by their opponents.<br />
Hopefully it will lead to these<br />
players and parents/organisers<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> tennis much<br />
more. One club we felt were<br />
especially worthy of the Aegon<br />
Team <strong>Tennis</strong> Hospitality Club of<br />
the year award was Brightwell LTC.<br />
Many congratulations to them.<br />
We hope that Aegon Team<br />
<strong>Tennis</strong> <strong>Surrey</strong> can go from<br />
strength to strength <strong>in</strong> the years<br />
to come.<br />
