Welcome to the Friendly Tennis League Home Page

The Colchester and District Friendly Tennis League was established in 1960 by 10 local clubs and exists to give players of a moderate standard a chance of competitive play. Hence, it is intended specifically for older or less experienced players, or for those who simply wish to enjoy less intensive competitive tennis. There are both team and individual competitions. Players who regularly play in the Premier or First Divisions of the Colchester and District League are not eligible to play in any Friendly League event.

The first team league winners were Ardleigh club and the trophy was presented by former Colchester United footballer Reg Stewart.

The Individual Competitions were set up the following year.

For all current activities and current champions see Latest News.

Membership of the League is open to any club whose courts are situated within a twenty-mile radius of Colchester Town Hall.

Finals Day was held on Saturday 7th September 2024 at Little Clacton Tennis Club. The picture below shows committee members surrounded by some of the competitors.
