The Northern

A smart new addition to our indoor courts 💙💛

Our brand new curtains are now installed all the way around the indoor courts, giving the space a smart new look and feel as part of our ongoing investment in the club.

Another fantastic year of hosting the Junior ITF tournament at Northern 🎾🌍

A huge thank you to all of the players, officials, volunteers and members who helped make the week such a success. Despite some very typical Manchester conditions — including a few heavy downpours — it was brilliant to still get play underway on our grass courts, a huge credit to the hard work of our grounds team.

The standard of tennis on show was exceptional, and we’re incredibly proud to continue hosting such a prestigious international event here at the club 💙

Summer’s here and it’s been so lovely to see everyone making the most of our outdoor spaces ☀️🙌

Since our new outdoor furniture arrived earlier this year, it’s been great to see our Clubhouse, decking and outdoor area become such a popular spot for members to relax, socialise and enjoy the club. With the World Cup on the big screen and now Wimbledon underway, we’ve loved seeing so many people down at the club enjoying the atmosphere and watching the sport together 💙🎾⚽️

And that’s the 2025/26 squash season! This weekend saw the finale our end of season club championships. We hosted the culmination of the Ian Stewart Memorial club championships, the inaugural Clare Murray Challenge Cup, Handicap, Over 40s Open, Handicap, as well as B and C grade events! 8 Finals in all - followed by a great evening social! Thanks to everyone who to part in our tournaments, and contributed to a great season!
