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.

Together, they competed in the LTA's Cheshire National League (Summer 2022).

Wistaston Congregational played their home matches on their hard courts in Wistaston and Crewe.

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

Each team contained four players who competed in a singles and doubles format.

Crewe Hightown Congregational Club is located on Gainsborough Road (Hightown Tennis Club).

Wistaston Congregational finished in fourth place out of the six teams winning 187 games and losing 215 games.

They will continue in the Cheshire National League next season.

George Raiswell of Wistaston Congregational said: "What an enjoyable summer. As a team we have learnt so much and improved so much.

"We look forward to next season."

Bowdon, who finished top of the league, now go on to play in a Premier Division, where they will take on clubs from the Northern Region.
