Hiya Team Tennis
What a great time it's been! First the Junior Champs when Levi and Jonah battled it out in a riveting finals game. Congratulations to Levi ๐
When you watch the skilful way our older groups play you really see the benefits of ongoing coaching and practice sessions with Coach Rod.
Congratulations to Priscilla Lee our Women's Singles Champion ๐ and to Leon Rossbotham our new Men's Singles Champion๐.
Awesome games to watch - the competition was tough and tensions were high. Our players have certainly worked hard to improve their game over the past year and it was really evident throughout the tournament. Well done one and all.
Congratulations also to Priscilla Lee & Ruth Le Roux - Women's Doubles Champs ๐๐
Tim Murdock & Leon Rossbotham -Men's Doubles Champs๐๐
Leon Rossbotham & Jenny Sutton - Mixed Doubles Champs๐๐
The Most Improved Trophy went to Ruth Le Roux
Next on the agenda is our Handicap Champs (in which all players, regardless of skill level have a chance at winning) These are scheduled for 4th May. Please register with Tim or Carl by Thursday 2nd May. Singles and Doubles to be played, with doubles partnered via a supervised draw on Thursday evening.
Finally - there has been some interest in our club setting up Pickleball on Court 4. This is a rapidly growing, & extremely popular racquet sport, not dissimilar to padder tennis. Take a look on-line, or visit Kerikeri Tennis Club which now has 8 Pickleball courts. To gauge our membership & the wider community interest we are holding a public meeting on Sunday 19th May at 1pm. Please share this information amongst your friends and family.
Yours in Tennis
