The Club ran another successful Spring night competition over the past 3 months and it's nice to have tennis at the Club getting back to normal, even with a little more rain around than normal! We had strong fields for both the Tuesday and Thursday night competition and once again the Club thanks night tennis co-ordinators Greg Marshman and Warren Littlejohn for their volunteer efforts throughout the year.
Tuesday Night (Section 2) Results
After rain delayed the finals night by almost a week, it was an enjoyable finals match between the top 2 teams - the Tulips and Daffodils - at the end of the regular season. The Tulips ended up holding on to win by 29 games to 26 games. Congratulatoins to the Tulips team of Joel Langstaff (captain), Jacinta Chisholm, Emilee Row and Rhett Hume. And terrific to see some of the Club's younger members like Rhett join the night competition and shine bright.
