STOCKTON Heath men's tennis team gained promotion for a second consecutive year on Sunday.
The five-man team of David Trainor, Michael Austin, Craig Barnard, Sean Dunstan and Andrew Burgess booked their place in National Division One of the KIA National Club League after defeating Heaton Tennis Club 4-2.
The team, who were playing in the regional divisions last year before moving up to National Division Two this season, went 3-1 up against Heaton thanks to singles wins from Austin, Trainor and Dunstan.
Trainor and Barnard then won their doubles match to seal victory and earn their chance to take on some of the country's finest players next season.
