Its that time of year again when all the County tennis teams go away all over the Uk and play the famous County Cup Competition.

In what is to probably 90% of the players involved "their Wimbledon" is a unique competiton not found any where in Europe.

Teams of 3 doubles pairs, play the best of three sets against each of the other pairs in the opposing team.

There are 7 groups, the top mens and ladies play their matches at Eastbourne.

The others play at such great summer resorts such as Cromer, Felixstowe, Cheltenham and so on - basically centres that have enough grass courts.

My ex County, Bedfordshire, are now, of course without me, in Group 7 playing in Bexley.

I will be giving the results as and when.By the way Bedfordshire ladies are in Group 6 playing at Ilkely.

Recent visitor to Los Gigantes, Ben Gudzelak, is a memebr of the Yorkshire team in the top group.Ben plays today with Kyle Brassington, and they have won their first match against Dorset.
