PENARTH Lawn Tennis Club, on Rectory Road, will be hosting its second annual national tennis ranking tournament from Monday, August 3, to Saturday 8.

The tournament, organised by Vale Tennis Academy, has attracted more than 220 players making it one of the largest tennis tournaments in Wales.

The entry consists of many players from the local clubs as well as players from all over the UK, with the furthest travelling from Ireland. All entrants will be competing with the aim of increasing their national ranking.

Events range from 8 and under to senior age categories with junior events taking place during the day and adult events in the evening. None of these events would have been possible without the support of their local sponsors: ACJ Sales & Lettings; Curo Advisers; SR Motors; GM2; and CELF Creative.

The club will be open every day during the tournament week to members of the public who wish to come along to spectate and soak up the traditional PLTC atmosphere.

The club bar and kitchen will also be open for business to feed and refresh all hungry players and spectators.

The Penarth Open is not only an exciting and competitive tennis event but also a celebration of all the hard work, effort and talent of players from all over the UK.
