United Hospitals Lawn Tennis Club

The constituent medical schools collaboratively form a Men's and Ladies team which competes at a high standard against various organizations.

There is also a one-day mixed doubles tournament in the winter with individual pairs from each medical school competing against one another.

The medical schools compete against each other for The Inter Hospital Lawn Tennis Challenge Cup established in 1887.

The cup was thus not awarded as reported in the medical student newspaper[1] The club has built on its historical foundations and has over eighty active members to this day.
