A second tennis racket purchase from this brilliant shop. Staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. So much better buying from an actual person and supporting a local company than the big online stores. First class. Thank you.

Fantastic service, and selection of products. I've bought a few times during lockdown from John Moore Sports - great quality dumbbells and kettlebells, at very reasonable prices. Can't fault the service - I've done phone and Online orders, and had the bits delivered the next day! Thank you!
