Davis Cup Trophy Tour visits Hertfordshire Sports Village

Following the superb performance of Great Britain in winning the Davis Cup in 2015, the LTA decided to celebrate the win and to promote the game of tennis by having the actual trophy on display around the country.

On September the 18th the cup came to Hertfordshire Sports Village at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield.  Inside the venue there were fantastic opportunities for people to try tennis, disability tennis, mini tennis, cardio tennis, a fastest serve competition or to play with a coach.  There was even a huge bouncy castle for the very young to play in whilst older children and parents tried all the activities.

Herts coaches and other volunteers worked really hard to give people playing opportunities and it was pleasing to see so many visitors enjoying this fun day out.  No doubt many households will have a picture of family members with the cup in them.

It was only sad that on that very afternoon GB lost in the semi-final of the 2016 event.

Thank you and well done to everyone in Herts who assisted with this great day.
