Banbridge Tennis Club

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.

Whether you are interested in joining Banbridge Tennis Club or are already a member feel free to contact us at info@banbridgetennisclub.co.uk

Junior club tournament 2009

The Junior club tournament took place on Saturday 27th June 2009. Under 18 boys winner was Hector de Courcy-Wheeler, beating Ben Jardine in a very close match that was decided on a tie-break. The under 18 girls produced a new winner in Sheena MacAuley, who defeated Olivia Loy in the final. Both under 14 categories had new winners in Baille Dillon-Burns, in the boys and Eimear Downey in the girls equivalent.

Banbridge teams performed well in Belfast and district leagues with the under 14 boys A team coming runners-up in their league and reaching the semi-final stages of the knockout cup (losing 2-4 to the eventual winners Ward Park). The under 14 boys B team went a stage further winning their league and got to the quarter-final stage of the knockout cup. Our under 18 girls B team lost out on runners-up spot by a single point. In total the club was represented by eight league teams.

Individual attention goes to Emma McNickle who won the plate competition in Newry/Warrenpoint, with younger sister Ruth making the final of the main event.
