TENNIS TEAM AWARDS 2019

Members of Edgbaston Priory Club came together to celebrate another fantastic year of achievements for its tennis players and teams at the annual Tennis Team Awards on Saturday 16th November.

A sell-out event saw 10 awards handed out on the night, including the prestigious Roger Aitken Award – an annual award in memory of the club’s former Chairman who brought the Edgbaston and Priory clubs together following the devastating fire at Priory Club in 1963.

Given to a member who has given consistent and outstanding support and commitment to tennis and the club, this year’s Roger Aitken award was presented to Najma Razaq.
