With day 1 ruled out due to biblical rain, matches kicked off at 8.15 on Thursday morning with 16 juniors defying all odds and getting out of their beds to play some tennis! There followed 3 days of non stop competition.
195 entries, 92 junior participants, 18 competitions from u8-u18. Despite the cancellation of the bbq, tuck shop and restrictions around the number of supporters there was a genuine sense of fun, healthy competition and club spirit. It was a great end to our summer season.
Sincere thanks to Jamie. His commitment and dedication has created a vibrant junior section and I think the entry numbers reflect this.
Thanks also to all the volunteers who made the weekend possible and to Andy and the Exec for their support.
