Dunfermline Tennis & Bridge Club

General information

In 2006, Dunfermline became the first tennis club in the whole of Scotland to have 'Classic Clay' courts put in. Judy Murray, mother of men's Wimbledon singles winner Andy Murray and captain of the Great Britain Fed Cup team, came down to the club where she played at many times as a junior and occasionally brought down the now global tennis stars that are Andy and Jamie. She opened the courts with a packed clubhouse and since then the club has never looked back.

Later on that year it was awarded Tennis Scotland 'Club of the Year' and since then has also won 'Tournament of the Year' and just recently club coach Alan Russell won 'Coach of the Year'.

Such success as you can imagine has not gone to waste as the whole club (juniors in particular) have benefited vastly from the additional coaching expertise Alan has been able to bring.

The number of juniors competing at a high level is staggering as last season from ages of under 8's to under 14's the club dominated the East of Scotland leagues winning a large number of them and finishing runners-up in others. Also 2 boys aged 14 last year made a break through into the men's second team and with the men's 1st team being promoted to league 1 this year, we could well these boys making another breakthrough.

The woman's team however, has had unprecedented success for the past quarter of a century, claiming 18 Scottish Cup titles in that time. The most titles ever by any club in Scotland.

With all of this success it's easy to forget that we have such a wide range of opportunities for beginner/improver level. A huge amount of coaching available, regardless of ability. Social nights take place on a Tuesday and Thursday night and also on a Sunday afternoon.

So for anyone that is keen to take up this change to be a part of an ever growing Andy Murray fuelled craze that Dunfermline Tennis Club is at the heart of, don't be scared to get in touch whether it is through facebook, on our twitter page: https://twitter.com/DunfermlineTC or you can contact the club itself on 01383 721470.

Hope to see you down at the club, cheers.
