Greetings Joe! I think that the correct one would be: Melview Boys Tennis Club. And that's because we want to say the area, or the 'owners' of the club.

  • It's a name of a club, so the words Tennis Club are actually written separated as a meaning, from the Melview Boys .
  • It's like reading a sign: MELVIEW BOYS tennis club

Kostas18, thank you for the reply.

Sorry, should have said; the whole sentence is:

I have loved Melview's boys' tennis club for a long time.

Melview is the name of the village. Does this change things?

Many Thanks.
