We're very proud to say that Newcastle Tennis Club will again be hosting an Tennis Ulster Junior Tournament, with the generous support of Fraser Homes!

Ulster Junior Tournaments are hosted by different clubs each year and last year Newcastle Tennis Club hosted a tournament for the first time. That was a major success and we're delighted to be able to host again, this time a '500' tournament, which is an even bigger event than the '200' version of 2025.

This is a unique opportunity to see high class tennis, with some of the brightest prospects from all over Northern Ireland coming to compete across 4 age categories.

Club Members and members of the public are encouraged to come along and watch and support the NTC players involved.

Please note that this weekend courts will be in use for tournament play throughout and therefore unavailable for normal bookings.

Many thanks to everyone who came along for the mixed-doubles tournament last weekend! Thanks to expert organisation by club member Carlos, each of the 8 pairs were provided with a printed sheet of fixtures and played each other in a series of quick-fire ‘fast4’ sets. We were fortunate to have good weather and there was plenty of high quality rallies. Congratulations to the winners Kenneth and Lauren who won all 7 of their matches!

We’re grateful to Carlos for organising the tournament, and we hope we can arrange similar tournaments again in the future.

Many thanks to everyone who came down for our Newcastle Tennis Club Open Day last Saturday! The lovely weather helped ensure a great turn out of both club regulars and people coming along for the first time. We're delighted that several new people have since signed up as new members. With our enhanced facilities (new floodlights and a new electronic fob system) and summer just starting, this is the perfect time to join.

We're grateful to coach Sam and his team for organising games on all four courts, and to the committee members and club players who came along and made it such a fun day for all.

Reminder that it's our open day today from 14.00 - 17.00! Just turn up and play, our coach Sam will be organising games. Current members are very welcome to come along, and this is an ideal chance for anyone who has thought about joining to test out the courts. And the weather forecast is great too!
