The last round of Badge was completed on Saturday for most of our teams. The Ladies 2 Team has one match to play, Thursday Ladies 2 matches.
We have 5 Mens Teams in the semi finals. Manly 3 amd Manly 7 Mens Teams will play home semis this Saturday whilst Manly 1 Manly 4 and Manly 6 Mens Teams will play away semis.
Congratulations to those teams and hopefully all 5 can win on Saturday.
Badge Results Round 14
Mens 1 Won 8-0 at home. A great win to finish in 4th position in a very strong competition this season. Cameron/Andrew continued their good form to win 4 sets again as did Bosko/Sean. They have a tough semi final match away at Grand Slam Wheatleigh Street which includes the Smith brothers who always get to the finals of The Manly Seaside championships. Good luck guys.
Mens 2 Lost 3-5 away. Oliver/Dan won 2 sets Fernando/Murillo won 1 set. They finished in 5th position a few points out of the semis.
Mens 3 Bye. This team has been first all year and will play at 2pm this Saturday at home v Marrickville.
Mens 4 Won 5-3 at home v Marrickville. Sean/Vincent won their 4 sets again Geoff/Craig won 1 set. They play away at Neutral Bay on Saturday.
Mens 5 Lost 2-6 at home to Cammeray. Carl/Tom won 2 sets, Gavin/Scott lost 3 tiebreakers. This team finished 8th. All their matches were close on games but they were unlucky to lose the tight sets.
Mens 6 Washout . Finished in 4th position and have a tough semi against the unbeaten Kooroora at their courts.
Mens 7 Lost 2-6 at Western Suburbs. Mark/Roger won 2 sets then Mark was injured and had to forfeit the last 2 sets. Peter/Hamish lost 4 close sets. This team has a home semi against Western Suburbs on Saturday. Mark will probably be unavailable an, since Stu is injured as well, the other guys have to step in and play well. Good luck you can do it!
Mens 8 Lost 2-6 at home. Ray Dalgairns/Rob Hill won 1 set as did Des/ Ray Dummett. This team finished 7th. Most of the Division 11 Teams have younger players now so it is a lot stronger than a few years ago.
Ladies1 Lost 3-5 away. Julia/Emily won 2 sets, Kirsten/Carolina 1 set. The ladies finished 8th in a very strong competition.
Ladies 2 Won 5-3 at home v Chatswood. A great win against the top team to remain in 2nd position. If the ladies can win their last match they will finish 2nd and play Chatswood away in the final. Kristina/Krista won 3 sets and Julie/Olivia 2 sets. Good luck on Saturday ladies.
Thursday Ladies Badge. Won 5-3 at home. Lindy/Michelle won 3 sets, Jane/Narelle won 2 sets. With two matches remaining it will be tough to take 2nd position and play in the final. Third plays fourth also to decide 3rd position so a home playoff in 2 weeks looks likely.
All team results are shown in the score board.
