From our youngest 8U players through to Open and Senior competitors, a huge congratulations to all of our 2026 Warwickshire County Champions and everyone who stepped onto court during the week.

Of course, an event of this size doesn't happen without an enormous amount of work behind the scenes – particularly when the British weather gets involved! ☔

A huge thank you to our Tournament Referee, Kathryn Heathcote, and to Will McCormack, who supported Kathryn throughout the week and helped secure additional indoor courts when the weather disrupted play. Our thanks also go to our fantastic court supervisors Tilly, Vanessa Pellow, Maddie Pellow and Harrison Hawker, who did a brilliant job helping to keep everything running smoothly.

A special thank you to Solihull Arden Club for hosting the 2026 County Championships and for their fantastic support throughout an incredibly busy seven days. From providing the courts and facilities to working with us through the inevitable weather challenges, their support played a huge part in making the Championships possible.

We're also incredibly grateful to Tudor Grange and David Lloyd Solihull for providing indoor courts and helping us keep the Championships moving despite the weather.

And finally, thank you to every player, parent, official, volunteer and supporter who played a part in making the week happen.
