Amy, who was a club member from a young age before she joined the team as a coach, also runs the children’s programme.

Dave Courteen, Managing Director of The Shrewsbury Club, said: “We are so proud of Amy for all she has achieved. To see her presented with such a prestigious national award was an extremely special moment. 

“She certainly is a rising star and does an excellent job as a tennis referee and official to help ensure that Tennis Shropshire’s County Championships and Battle of Shropshire are such a success.”

He added: “I am also so pleased for our team and all the volunteers and sponsors who contributed to the success of last November’s ITF World Tennis event. It was the biggest tournament we have staged at The Shrewsbury Club and the feedback we received from the LTA, officials, players and spectators was excellent.

“We are one of the biggest tennis clubs in the county. We think we have a responsibility to grow the game and see what a wonderful sport this is and actually get out there and get playing.’’
