The Amicus Cup

The Amicus Cup is a knockout handicap singles tournament with each match played over the best of 3 sets. The competition starts at the beginning of the season in September and runs throughout the year. Until 2015 the competition ran over the first half of the season and was normally awarded before Christmas. From 2016 the tournament ran the whole year and so the trophy was awarded in 2017.

The cup is sponsored by Amicus Accounting and bears the companies name. It has also been played as the Allen Trophy after Simon Allen and started as the Templecourt Trophy.

The two finalists each year will represent Moreton Morrell in the National Chetwood Trophy

Christmas Triples

The Christmas Triples is a tournament that is played each year alongside the club’s Christmas Party. For three-a-side, fancy dress tennis it is imperative to make some minor adjustments to the traditional rules of the game and for each renewal of the tournament the marker outlines a set of rules to be observed for that years competition. The current triples sees the highest handicapped player being the only player on each team permitted to play balls off the penthouse. Handicapping is considered to be dynamic and often adjusted between games. The dedans and grille both count double while the winning gallery wins the game, especially useful when you are 40-0 down. In the past different rules have been played for instance the best players were forced to play off the penthouse or to serve wrong handed and at times the tambour has been banned. But compared to the modern variant these rules now look arbitrary and faintly ridiculous. While the regular game of tennis is often compared by aficionados to three-dimension chess triples is best likened to Mornington Crescent. 

The esteem in which this tournament is held by the club’s members can be seen by names on the honours boards. For many club stalwarts the triples is the tournament reserved for their only mention.
