Welcome to Banbridge Tennis Club!
We meet regularly at King George V playing fields in Banbridge. We play our tennis on three Astroturf courts owned by Banbridge District Council; two of these courts have flood-lights enabling us to play tennis all year round - weather permitting! Current Club court times are published on this website.
We have a
Junior Club and a
Senior Club but the two are closely linked and we like to think that we have a friendly, open welcome for players of all ages and abilities. Several years ago we introduced a new family membership category and this has nearly doubled our membership numbers.
Whether you are interested in social or league tennis Banbridge Tennis Club has something to offer. We enter a number of teams - junior, senior, ladies and men's - in the Belfast and District leagues throughout the year. As well as interclub matches we have a number of club fixtures during the summer season. These include Captain's Day, President's night and a sponsored Tennis-In marathon to raise money for charity. One of the most popular club fixtures is the Senior Club's annual match against Elm Park in Dublin. We also enjoy a number of
social events most of which take place in the modern, new clubhouse we share with the bowling club.

The annual finals took place at the end of August. Craig Campbell won the under 18 boys title for the third year running, beating Hector de Courcy-Wheeler (2008 most improved player) in the final. Emma McNickle took the under 18 girls prize for the four consecutive year. The under 14 girls cup was captured by the much improved Sheena MacAuley and Matthew McClune won the under 14 boys cup for the third time.
Captain’s Day, scheduled for Saturday 4th October 2008 is now postponed until further notice.

All our matches in the Belfast and district leagues are now concluded. It has proved a successful campaign with our under 18 girls A team being the most productive by picking up their league title and finishing runners-up in the Knock-out Challenge Trophy. A special mention goes to Jane Simpson, unbeaten in all league matches. The under 14 boys A team grabbed second spot in division 2 and lost in the semi-finals of the Challenge Trophy by games,after the match ended in a draw, to the eventual winners of the competition. Our under 18 A boys team reached runners-up in a highly competitive division and got to the quarter-finals of the Knockout Cup.
Craig Campbell, our number one boy’s player, has since won the Newry and Warrenpoint Championships with the loss of just two games for the second year running. Ruth McNickle, a promising young A team player, lost in the final of the girl’s equivalent by just one game. The club has two teams playing in the Ulster finals of the Community Games tomorrow, 28th June 2008. We wish them every success.
Finally, congratulations to all players who played on our eight juvenille teams this season, especially those who starred in the under 14A girls and under 14C boys teams.Well done.
