Tournament organiser and Maccabi GB lay leader Jonathan Cohen said: "MGB do not currently have an annual tournament for tennis as they do with other sports, so we are really looking forward to running this event, especially with the Maccabiah Games next year.

"It will give all of the applicants a chance to compete at a high level in preparation for what they may face in Israel. We are looking to find the best doubles partnership in the country and would welcome applications from all over Great Britain."

The closing date for application forms is Friday January 16th 2009. For more information or for an application form please contact Jo Webber in the Maccabi GB office on 0208 457 2333 or email jo@maccabigb.org. To download an application form, then please log on to our website at www.maccabigb.org
