LD Regional tournament at Chesterfield

Report by Jayne Huxley-Grantham, EDI Lead for Cheshire Tennis.

Cheshire is recognised as a supportive county for encouraging our competitors to

enter LTA disability tournaments – both local and regional. The calendar is quite full

and offers a wide variety of opportunities for everyone. The competitions are warm

and friendly affairs for both competitors and family to be a part of.

Grace Stockdale from Prestbury tennis club has been entering regional LTA Learning

Difficulties tournaments for some years now with a lot of success – both in singles

and doubles. Most recently, Grace and her mixed partner from Nottingham, Alex Hopkinson, won gold in the green ball doubles at the Chesterfield tournament.

Congratulations Grace and Alex - your hard work and commitment paying off! We

wish you well in your next competition at Grantham TC next month followed by the

national finals in November.
