Newlands Park Community Tennis Centre

What a way to finish the season for Newlands Park Community Tennis Centre! 🎾💙

A fantastic night for the club, with both our Men’s 1st Team and Women’s Team winning their final matches of the season.

🏆 Men’s 1st Team
An outstanding 12-0 away victory over Milngavie secures a strong 3rd-place finish in the league. We very narrowly miss out on promotion, but it’s been a superb season. Huge congratulations to everyone who has represented the team throughout the campaign.

👏 Women’s Team
The women also rounded off their season with a fantastic win! Full match details and results will follow shortly.

A massive well done to all our players for their commitment, teamwork and performances throughout the season. Here’s to building on this success next year! 💪🎾

Finally, a sincere thank you to our sponsors, Corum Property and Wolver, for their valued support throughout the season. Your backing is greatly appreciated and helps make everything we do possible. 🙌

Lovely atmosphere at FPT this morning! Another fully booked session.

Great to see our beginner session fully booked! Coach Stephen spent 10 minutes with each group before letting everyone put their new skills into practice. We wrapped up with a game of Gas Express—no pressure, plenty of laughs, and lots of fun! 😄

This was followed by our Improver Session, which still has spaces available. If you're thinking about taking the next step, don't be put off—it’s not as difficult as you might think, and it's a great way to build your confidence and develop your game.

Tennis Fun Fact: David Attenborough & Yellow Tennis Balls 🎾

Tennis balls were black or white until the 1970s. When colour TV launched, white balls vanished on screen.

As BBC Two Controller in 1967, David Attenborough pushed for colour coverage of Wimbledon and saw the problem. Tests showed fluorescent “optic yellow” was most visible to viewers.

Yellow balls started to be adopted in 1972, and Wimbledon switched in 1986.

As we celebrate Sir David’s 100th birthday, remember: his TV vision helped make tennis easier to watch for everyone.

We’re delighted to share some fantastic news — Corum will be continuing their sponsorship of NPCTC for another two years! 🎉 Corum Property
