Welcome to the North East Cheshire Lawn Tennis League. Situated in and around the North East Cheshire and the South Manchester regions, 42 Clubs, with a combined 241 ladies and men’s doubles teams, play competitive tennis during the summer months. If you live in these regions there will be a club near you.
We have a full tennis agenda for the 2026 season planned. This includes 1259 league doubles matches, commencing 1st April and running through until the end of July. In addition to league tennis, we have the Acton Cup and Plate, an interclub knockout competition for mixed, ladies and men’s doubles and individual ladies and men’s, culminating in the finals to be played on Sunday 6th September. Also, the Rose Bowl, a one-day interclub competition, will be hosted by Prestbury TC, on 18th July 2026.
If you are an existing or new club secretary/captain/administrator, you will find all the information about the League and competitions on this site, including the “How To” section. The “How To” section has been developed to help captains and administrators with guidance on how to enter players’ names, upload match results on the LTA league software and much more.
Could I remind new and existing captains to conduct a safety assessment prior to any match and any concerns you have are to be discussed with the opposition captain. If any safety issues cannot be rectified pre match the fixture is not to proceed.
Also, a big thank you to Slazenger our ball sponsor for their ongoing support of the league and competitions. Please make sure the world class Slazenger Wimbledon Ball is used in all league and competitions matches.
Thank you to Padel Specialists UK for their continued support as our premier partner for the 2026 season.
On behalf of NECLTL, we hope you have a great 2026 season.
Steve Thompson
NECLTL Chairman
