2024 Club Champ

2024 Club Championships Decided

Oct 31st, 2024

The 2024 SHTC Club Championships took place from Saturday, October 19th, to Sunday, October 27th.

The event featured 16 participants in the men’s singles, 3 in the women’s singles, and 16 teams in the Open Doubles competition.

Over the course of two weekends, a total of 49 matches were played in good spirits across all categories.

We would like to thank to all the participants who participated and contributed to making this event special, particularly those who accommodated for the tight schedule due a variety of court and scheduling constraints.

The weather has been kind to us and we have always been on schedule throughout the Championships, which makes it much easier for the semi-finals and grand finals.

The Open Doubles Grand Final match between Ed Smithers / Rick Haydon and Liam Greening / James Moore took many twists and turns, with Liam and James taking the first set and the second set being quite even. In the end, Ed and Rick gradually got on top to win in a Super Tiebreaker 3rd set after drawing level through a second set tiebreaker to claim the 2024 Doubles Championship.
