Doubles champions in the spotlight at awards night

Mosaic and Cound were presented with their premier division trophies at the awards night for Tennis Shropshire’s flourishing Summer Doubles League.

Mosaic’s first team won the top division in the men’s league, while Cound’s first team were victorious in the premier division of the county-wide ladies league.

Tennis Shropshire chair Fiona Jones said: “The Summer Doubles League is long established and very popular with men’s and ladies teams.

"It runs from April until the end of August each year and it’s wonderful that so many teams around Shropshire take part.

“The men’s and ladies premier divisions, along with divisions one, two and three, feature teams from across the county, while it’s regionalised into north and south from division four downwards.

“There’s around eight or nine teams in each division, so the league provides lots of tennis for many players around Shropshire.”

Keith Smith, the Tennis Shropshire president, presented the trophies to the winners during Tennis Shropshire’s AGM at The Shrewsbury Club.
