Abingdon Open Tournament 2008

An LTA Grade 4 Tournament
Tournament code OXF101

The Abingdon Lawn Tennis Club 2008 Open Tournament will take place from Monday 11th to Saturday 16th August. The Open is a Grade 4 LTA Ratings and Ranking tournament for juniors, with competitions for age groups from Under 10 to Under 21. This year we again have green ball competitions for under 10 boys and under 10 girls. New this year is a trial of Under 21 competitions, and if this proves popular, we shall retain it in our future schedule. To make time for the under 21 events, we have decided to omit the Family doubles this year.You can see what happened in earlier years by clicking on the appropriate "Open" button to the left.

The Open Tournament Director this year will be James Eastwood. Jim has been actively involved in running the Open for the past six years and is responsible for the web pages showing the results from previous years. If you require further information about this year's Open, then please contact Jim by telephone on 07879-881282 or by email at open2008@abingdontennisclub.com, or by post

Julia Freeman, who so ably acted as Tournament Referee for the past five years, is unable to take on the role this year. However, another capable referee, Matt Hill has agreed to fill in the gap her absence has left.
