Wetherby Tennis Club run their own Winter League for clubs in the area that may not have floodlights and who are keen to keep their competitive tennis going even during the depths of winter.

Mike Triffitt has taken over the running from Ian Teasdale who ran this very successful league for 6 years and we start our 9th term this winter . Harlow and Tadcaster are the new additions this campaign giving us 11 teams.
