Tavistock Tennis Club serves up a season of success with impressive awards haul
Three Tavistock ladies' teams have been crowned division champions, while individual players and the club itself have also picked up honours following a successful season on court
Tavistock Tennis Club is celebrating a successful season after collecting a host of trophies and awards at the Plymouth and District Summer League presentation evening.
The 2026 awards were presented at Boringdon Golf Club on November 4, with Tavistock enjoying an impressive haul of silverware across the ladies' divisions, as well as recognition for its contribution to the local community.
The club's ladies' B team were crowned Division Three champions, while the C team took the Division Four title and the E team secured top spot in Division Five.
The junior B team also enjoyed success, finishing runners-up in Division Two.
Unfortunately, no team members were able to attend the presentation, so ladies' captain Hilary Picton accepted the runners-up plaque on their behalf.
There was further individual recognition for Tavistock players in the league's Merit Awards, which recognise outstanding performances throughout the season.
C team captain Liz Webb took the Division Four Merit Award, while her team-mate Gemma Cleland was runner-up.
The club's achievements were also recognised with one of the league's two Sporting Awards, presented for contributions to charity.
Tavistock received the award for hosting the inaugural Handicapped Tournament, which saw mixed doubles pairs compete using a sliding handicap system designed to create more evenly matched games.
The format proved a success, with matches closely contested throughout the day.
Special recognition was given to club chairman Stuart Borthwick and membership administrator Wendy George for organising the event, along with thanks to everyone who helped provide the refreshments.
Hilary Picton accepted the Sporting Award on behalf of the club.
The results underline another successful season for Tavistock Tennis Club, with its players making their mark across the league and its members continuing to support the wider tennis community.
