Team News - Summer 2011

We will have eight men’s teams in the Cambs Summer League for 2001, which is more than any other Cambridgeshire club. For that we will probably need and use around 60 players from the end of April until end of June. We welcome all paid up members who are interested in playing in the matches (both young and old).

 
We are pleased that Chris Little, our new coach, will be joining the 1st Team. He has played in Division 1 for Huntington for the last four years. Last summer the 5th and the 7th were promoted a division and the 2nd, 3rd and 6th dropped a division. This summer we have teams in Divisons 1, 2, 3, 4 (two teams), 6 (two teams), and 9. We are therefore looking for players of all abilities and hope to strengthen all our squads.  
 
There will be a men’s doubles tournament on Monday 25th April starting at 3:00pm, which will give the chance for new pairings to show their potential. Entry forms for the tournament are available outside the club’s office.

Team News - Winter 2009

This winter we decided only to field two teams in the Cambs Winter League. In Division 1 our first team started off with a draw 4-4 in a closely fought match at David Lloyd where we had opportunities to win the match. We then fielded a strong team against Saffron Walden and won the match convincingly 8-0. After that we suffered 3 frustrating 5-3 losses against Shelford 1& 2 and Huntingdon 1. With St. Neots unable to find a team for the remaining match Cambridge finished fourth on the same points as Huntingdon and David Lloyd but were placed higher based on the number of sets won. The backbone of the team were Sam Scharf, Jamie Blundell and Jakub Sanda supported by David Carlos, Pieter Van Houten, James Morris, Sidney Bennett, James Mills and Ben Schamisso.

Cambridge 2 had a frustrating season with two teams (Cottenham and Soham) withdrawing before the first match was played. Our first match was in Royston on probably the windiest day of the year and we were well beaten 8-0. We reversed this result with a very comfortable win against Buckden 2. On a dark cold night out at Buckden their first team gained revenge beating us 8-0. After that we lost 7-1 to a strong Thorpe Wood team, although the match was closer than the score suggests. We played well in our final fixture, rearranged after a power cut, with a solid 6-2 win. This left the team in 5th place. The team was represented by Mike Snaith, Sidney Bennett, James Morris, Torben Schuettfort, Charles D'Oyly, Philip Jenson, Tim Marchenay, Greg Clowes, Ed Garrott and Peter Jeffery.

The results and league tables for both teams can be found here.

Team News - Summer 2009

The Men's teams performed admirably this summer and there is no doubt that we have acquired more depth in strength this year with the addition of a few new players to the team squad and a few returning after absence or injury.

Men's 1 secured second spot in Division 1 after a poor start due to player availability . Next season they will be joined by Men's 2 who gained promotion having won six of their seven matches. Men's 3's position in Division 2 was looking a little precarious before a win in their final match against Huntingdon. With pleasing symmetry the experienced Men's 4th team finished a very creditable 4th in Division 4 winning two matches, drawing three and narrowly losing two. Men's 5 and Men's 6 also did well finishing 3rd and 4th in their group respectively, narrowly missing promotion by one point. And congratulations to Men's 7 who secured promotion with four wins and two draws. Unfortunately Men's 8 narrowly lost three matches 3-5 and means they will relegated to Division 9 next season.

Team News - Winter 2008

This was the first year the club decided to enter three teams in the Cambs Winter League and it proved to be a successful move, with Men's 3 earning promotion in their first year -well done to them! Congratulations too to Men's 1 who finished second in Division 2, and will be justly rewarded with top flight tennis next year! Men's 2 also stood up well to the challenge finishing third in a tightly contested group.
