The Dumfries and Galloway Tennis AGM was held on Tuesday 22nd November with a change at the top.

 Keith Thom from the Dalbeattie Tennis Club was elected as District President as Lister McKiddie stepped down after many years of service to the D&G Tennis environment. Lister will stay on as district secretary and received a massive thank you from the club representatives for all his hard work and efforts throughout his time as president.

Keith has been in tennis for a long time and was recently part of the winning Scotland team in the Dan Maskell Trust Team Tennis. Welcome to the family Keith!

Dumfries Tennis Club are hosting the last competition of the year with a Mini Red Ball event at the David Keswick Centre in Dumfries.

Dumfries & Galloway kids have recently played in 3 Orange ball competitions in Dumfries and Carlisle with promising results and performances throughout. Over the 3 events there were 11 kids from the region who played in at least one of the 3 events with every child recording at least one win in their event.

For the 9 yrs and under kids this has been a progression from the D&G Mini Red Tour  which took place earlier this year, Summer club coaching, orange ball drill sessions at Dumfries throughout October and November and the 3 Orange ball competitions with 7 of the 11 kids going to Chatsworth Indoor Tennis Club in Carlisle on Sunday 13th November. On the day we had 3 hours of play on both the outdoor and indoor courts and there were 9 Cumbrian kids and the 7 D&G kids with 4 of the D&G kids only losing 1 match each in the Round Robin groups but more importantly all the kids enjoyed playing tennis in a new environment against the local Cumbrian kids.
