Anyone For Tennis?

By all accounts English tennis is in a sorry state and it is hardy surprising when local facilities like those on the Rutland Recreation Ground have been left to fall into disrepair. I've not played tennis for many, many years but spent many a happy hour here with friends when the courts were still usable.


I know we now have an indoor facility also on the Rec and when that was built other outdoor courts were also renovated. Since then however they too have undergone changes to create cricket nets so there is really nowhere for anyone to go and knock a ball about unless they want to contend with the broken glass, litter and derelict fencing. It's such a shame.
