Welcome to the Burton & District Inter Club Tennis League.
The league was formed in 1936.
The first meeting took place at the Station Hotel, Burton. The Clubs represented were Halls Collieries, Sharp Bros., Knight, Burton Public Services, Church Gresley Church, Salt Bros., Burton YMCA and Netherseale.
There were six men's teams and seven mixed teams in that first season. Unfortunately no records exist for the Ladies teams.
The original league secretary was a Mr F H Smith, the father of our present treasurer Nigel. He continued his duties until 1965.
Our current league secretary is Mrs Josephine Matkin who has presided in this role since 1997.
The Burton league now consists of 20 Clubs and 104 teams.
The league is friendly and always welcomes new clubs and players who wish to participate.
