Thanks to Mount Maunganui Tennis Club for hosting yesterday’s ladies tournament! A few of our Gate Pa ladies were there and enjoyed some great tennis in some extremely challenging weather conditions.

Well done to everyone who took part, and a special congratulations to one of our newest members, Sandra, who finished runner-up in her division alongside her doubles partner Donna from Te Puna Tennis Club.

A fantastic result, ladies – well done! 👏🎾
