Shropshire Padel Championships 2025
Shropshire's Inaugural Padel Championships a success
Following months of preparation and work behind the scenes, Saturday 16th August saw the running of the inaugural Shropshire Padel County Championships, held at Ace Padel Club, based at Lions Quay Spa near Oswestry. A grey but warm morning would soon change to a cloudless sky, bathing both supporters and players alike in brilliant sunshine, and adding to the heat created on the courts. With players coming from backgrounds in padel, tennis and pickleball, and with a wide range of experience playing padel, it was exciting to see players bringing different tactics and skills to each match. The glass backed courts made it easy to watch every match, generating strong encouragement from the supporters and spectators, and contributed to the friendly atmosphere that accompanied the competitions both on and off the courts.

The competitions were for ladies, men's and mixed doubles in the open category, with an extra men's doubles 40+ category. With competitions structured for either round robin or knockout with playoff, everyone played in at least 2 matches and had the chance to play against a mixture of skills and techniques. Playing full sets gave rise to hard fought matches and allowed each team to maximise their time on courts. Congratulations to everyone who took part and thank you for making these Padel County Championships successful and great fun.
