Thorpe Bay's girls' first team have been crowned Essex champions after finishing top of the county junior league's Division One.
The team beat Westcliff Hard in the final play-offs at Great Baddow to secure first place.
Captain Sammy Malik, Jade Blackman, Sara Needham, Ashlee Tyrell, Sam Gray, Sarah Naylor and Katie Sirdifield made up the team.
Most of them have been helped by the club's scholarship scheme that helps with coaching, court time and racquet restrings.
"I'm very pleased with the team's performance," said coach Andy Magram.
"There is a good atmosphere within the club's junior section. The older players act as a role model for our younger players."
