\n The Barry Island-based team delivered a consistent and disciplined campaign, securing their spot near the top of the table through strong performances, improving partnerships, and a growing squad.\n<\/p>\n
\n Richie Maiorano, men\u2019s captain at Barry Athletic Tennis Club, said: “After a hard-fought season of doubles tennis in the heat, we\u2019re proud to have finished second amongst some brilliant opposition and a group of really great guys across the league.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We\u2019re building our squad consistently and improving after every match.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I\u2019m proud to play with such a competitive group of players.”\n<\/p>\n
\n While a couple of walkovers contributed to their points tally, the team\u2019s success was largely the result of a committed playing style and steady progress throughout the season.\n<\/p>\n

\n A standout moment came during a home victory against Caerphilly Tennis Club, where father-and-son duo Ed and Ewan Baker played together for the first time, delivering a composed performance that helped secure a crucial win.\n<\/p>\n
\n The club has continued to expand its roster, welcoming new members and strengthening existing pairings.\n<\/p>\n
\n Many matches were closely contested, often coming down to third-set tiebreaks, with the team showing resilience and steady improvement.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Maiorano said: “We\u2019re now looking forward to taking on the Mixed Doubles League through the winter months and are always looking for players.
