Both teams play their matches in the Cheshire Elite League. In season 1 our teams finished 3rd and 5th out of the 8 teams which is a fantastic start to the club’s life and we want to make season 2(due to start in October 08) even better.

On Sunday 3rd August we shall be holding our club trials session which is open to any affiliated player from our Premier + Championship Divisions.

The club will have 1 fully experienced coach to train both teams and will be supported by 2 team captains (1 from each team).

The club will train at least once per month and play at least one league match per month between October – May.

Matches will be played during the weeknights at the complex.
 
The tennis courts at the Barony Park were re-surfaced in June 2006 using a polyurethane sealant and soft textured surface dressing. The area has a good firm surface with a little springiness to it to help create an even bounce of the tennis balls.
 
The tennis court/netball court is adjacent to 2 dedicated tennis courts with a small fence separating these. A 5-a-side astro turf area which also has the capabilities for the provision of netball is also adjacent. All these areas are flood-lit.

The tarmac area is predominantly hard surface and is enclosed fully with a wire mesh fence. This area is also flood-lit.
