UPDATE

24 February 2022

As restrictions are eased around the COVID-19 pandemic, plans are afoot to revive the Millennium Cup for 2022.

Watch this space for more details coming soon!


STATEMENT

18 March 2020

The Millennium Cup Organising Committee has reluctantly decided to postpone the 2020 Competition that was due to start on 5 April because of the threat of Coronavirus / COVID-19.

All five participant clubs are following current government guidelines to help halt the spread of the outbreak, while the LTA and Tennis Surrey have suspended tennis activity, including league and other matches.

Since Millennium Cup ties bring together members from different clubs in large numbers in a social tennis environment, the committee believes it had no other choice than to postpone the competition, at least for the time being.

It is hoped that it will become possible to hold this later in the year once the coronavirus situation improves.


The Millennium Cup’s 20th edition

This year, 2020, sees the 20th edition of the Millennium Cup, giving cause for some celebration!

This local community team competition involves the five tennis clubs of Streatham and you can find out everything about it on this website.

The Millennium Cup provides friendly competition across all age groups over the summer and is proving as popular now as it was when first inaugurated in 2001.

It helps to introduce players who may not ordinarily play competition to match play conditions on a level playing-field that excludes the participation of more experienced club players competing at Tennis Surrey League level.

It is eagerly and enthusiastically contested and has helped many players take the plunge into match play who have gone on to represent their clubs in the Surrey Leagues.

The competition continues to be a great grass roots development event for all.

It is also great fun because it is friendly and everyone is sociable, both on and off the court!

A very special trophy

It is all about trying to win this lovely trophy.

It was donated by the three inaugural clubs in 2001, Telford Park, Wigmore and Woodfield Grove.

A beautiful crystal vase centre piece measuring 215mm in height and 145mm in diameter, the trophy is set on a wooden base with a silver sleeve.

It has been won seven times by Telford Park, four times by Wigmore and Grafton, while Norbury Park won it in 2018 for the third time.

In 2013, Woodfield Grove‘s name was finally and proudly added to the honour list of champion clubs engraved on the sleeve.

Woodfield Grove also won the Millennium Cup Masters in 2015, a special event celebration the 15th anniversary of the competition.
