BUDDING tennis players in Haverfordwest will be able to take part in a summer long coaching initiative, thanks to Principality Building Society.

Wales’ largest building society has teamed up with Haverfordwest Tennis Club to support an after-school coaching initiative to get more young people playing tennis.

Liz Moss, Principality’s Haverfordwest branch manager, said: “Principality is proud to be at the heart of the communities in which we live and work. These clubs help to nurture talent from an early age and we know they can play a huge part in their local community by inspiring young people and helping to improve the social and physical well-being of those that take part. We hope the summer coaching goes well and that it inspires a number of young people in the area to take up tennis.”

Around 35 children have already taken part in the after-school clubs at local schools. The support from Principality will also help to buy more equipment.

Peter Lilley, Haverfordwest Tennis Club Chairman, said: “We are very grateful to Principality Building Society for its support. With the excitement surrounding Wimbledon this summer it is a fantastic time for us to engage more young people with this sport.”
