Two local tennis clubs joined forces to create a team of their strongest players - competing in a Summer County League.

The super team was made of players from Wistaston Jubilee Tennis Club, Church Lane and Crewe Hightown Congregational Tennis Club, Gainsborough Road.

Both clubs combined their best male players for the first time - forming the 'Wistaston Congregational' team.

They went up against other teams across the county, consisting of Bowdon, Hoole, Hoylake, Cheshire Oaks and Heswall.
