Meopham Lawn Tennis Club

All clubs strive to have a family and community feel. Meopham is no exception. But Meopham also wants to give everyone the opportunity to utilize their full potential. On a Monday Night, Meopham run a Team Training programme, which concentrates on Performance Coaching. To bring the best out of match players, with drills, tactics, advice and partnerships. This year we have had the opportunity to concentrate on new players to the teams.
Many of our young players are taking important exams this week and could not make the session (best of luck boys).
But we still had a strong squad for tonights session. We had the added bonus of Zak & Tom attending to give all the players a snippet of what its like to be Nationally high ranking players - These two brothers are no.1 and 2 in kent in their age bracket and highly ranked Country wide, but they still feel a part of Meopham Tennis Club and gave ' Lawrie the Coach' a helping hand in showing the technique and agilty to become the very best. There is some serious talent at our club and we hope we can help them achieve their dreams. If interested in performance coaching for team players, give Lawrie Lowe (Head Coach) a text or email. See further details on our Website. (sadly Tim Smith was not in the photo as left before photo opportunity, but a regular team training member).

Meopham play in the National League, which includes singles and doubles. Its a league that many of our players enjoy and we are in a transition year. The older players dropping away for the new blood. one of our key players is Ben Spivey, who has turned into a superb player and team member. Living in Brighton, he makes the effort to make himself available and its appreciated by the club. Alex Dumitru is another talent who has been playing for meopham the past three years. Very talented young player, who has always had a strong singles game, but is improving his doubles game this past year. Billy Pepper is our Mens Kent 1 Captain and makes himself available at every opportunity
And lastly we have Harvin, who played his first National League match this weekend. Harvin is one of 4 young players who lawrie ( Head Coach) and Lawrie Snr ( Captain for the Mens teams) are looking at investing their time and experiance to bring this young talent through to the senior teams in an organasied and protected program. Look out for Harvin, Theo, Billy South, and Erikas in the next year, we feel they are going to be the players of the future at Meopham Tennis Club. If you want to join these talented players in a Team Tennis program, we are interested in helping you on your journey.

Another fantastic win for Meopham Vets 1st team against a strong Oakwood team. I must add that Oakwood are always one of the friendliest and hospitable teams in the NK league.
On and off the court, is always a pleasure. Their captain deserves a round of applause and all the members who watched the match.
lawrie, Sarb Andy Candler and Will keep Meopham at the top of the league in a tough group.

An early trip to Herne Bay today for the Kent Men’s 2s 🎾

Despite some difficult circumstances, the team dug deep and managed to come away with a draw — a fantastic result all things considered 👏

Unfortunately, Pete was unable to continue after the first set due to injury 😔 He and Nicky narrowly lost a close match 6-4 before having to retire.

On the other court, Mark and Ian got us off to a flying start with a brilliant 6-1, 6-2 win 💪

After learning the situation, they went straight into their second match full of confidence and absolutely stormed it, winning decisively 6-0, 6-1 🔥

To have to concede three sets and still battle back for a draw was an outstanding team effort 👏

A huge well done to all the lads, and a special mention to Pete — wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping to see you back on court as soon as possible 🤞🎾

What a fantastic day hosting the Boys U18 Doubles Play Your Way to Wimbledon tournament at the club yesterday — all played in 30+ degree heat 🥵🎾

The BBQ and refreshments went down brilliantly with players and parents alike, creating an amazing atmosphere throughout the day with fantastic family support for all of the boys competing.

We were treated to some incredible tennis, including a thrilling opening match where Taran & Harvin narrowly lost to Theo & Billy in an extremely tight match tie-break.

A huge congratulations to Theo & Billy for reaching the final, showing tremendous effort throughout the day 👏

Our overall winners were Kai & Theo, representing Apetti Canterbury and Bishops Stortford Tennis Clubs 🏆

It was wonderful to hear both families commenting on what a beautiful club we have and how impressive the newly installed Poroflex courts looked and played.

Well done to all of the boys who represented themselves and the club so brilliantly — the standard of tennis on display was outstanding from start to finish. Solid improvements all round and a fantastic glimpse into the future of the club 🎾🔥

A huge thank you to Elliott for organising such a fantastic event, and to Head Coach Lawrie for all of his support throughout the day 👏
