Mens 5  Won 4-3 v Strathfield at home.  Gavin and Tom won 3 sets including 6-1 6-0 in the last two sets to ensure a win as Carl and Joao won 1 set and had an unfinished set. The points are so close in this grade that every set counts.

Mens 6 Won 7-1 away at Killara.  Alec and Hugo won 4 sets .Graham and Chriswon 3 sets. After three easy wins the next three opponents are a lot stronger so we need to be ready for the challenge.

Mens 7 Washout at Mosman.  After two washouts and a bye soon this team is playing very little tennis.

Mens 8 Lost 4-4 on games v Strathfield at home.  A close result that went down to the wire.  Ray Dalgairns and Bob Amaral won 3 sets and Rob Hill and Dessie won 1 set. This sets up an intriguing match next Saturday between the two Manly Teams at noon.  Who will play for each team?

Ladies Thursday Badge 

Won 4-4 by 1 game at home v Roseville.  Michelle and Lindy won 2 sets as did Jane and Pam. Jane and Pam won a last set tiebreaker (7-5) to win the match. The ladies are in 2nd place. This Thursday they play the top team away so good luck ladies.  Narelle is taking it easy after her operation and is supporting from the sidelines.
