The Kia finals are the culmination of over 10,000 matches played by 800 teams from throughout the United Kingdom, in the country's largest grass roots tennis club tournament.

The winning teams also received £3000 each in prize money and the chance to represent, with one team member each, the UK in the Kia Amateur Australian Open held in Melbourne in January. Kia Motors are also involved internationally with tennis as sponsors of both the Australian Open and the Davis Cup.

Speaking at the finals, Mr S I Lee said: "We are delighted with the success of the first year of our sponsorship of the Kia National Club League."
