Jason Morley, Ely Tennis Club’s chair, said: "We are delighted with these recent results and think they demonstrate what a positive time it is for the club with the growing membership and all of the recent developments.

"With plans in place for improving our facilities in the future, our aim is to continue to be a welcoming and inclusive community club for Ely, and the local area."

Ely Tennis Club was formed in 1989 and is proud to be a community based not-for-profit organisation, with its home at the EOSA complex at Ely Leisure Village.
