Club Captain’s Report

With only 2 weeks of Badge remaining we still have 6 teams with good chances of making the finals.

As Tiebreakers are very important in finals, especially, I have forwarded to all Captains, Rob Muir’s philosophy of how to win tiebreakers. They will share with their teams.

Rob has done a great job with our two juniors this year. Matthew and Bede are only 13 years old and both have performed excellently this year.

Round 12 results.

Mens 1 Won 6-2 at home v Bisous Estate. Cam/Ben won 4 sets Sean/Oliver 2 sets The team is back 4th now.

Mens 2 Lost 6-2 away at North West Sydney. Wilko/Netto 2 sets. Hoping to finish the season with 2 wins but unlikely to make the finals.

Mens 3 Lost 8-0 away. Despite the big loss this team is still 4th and looks to be safely in the semis

Mens 4 Won 4-4 v Cammeray at home on games. Gavin/Larry 1 set Bede/Matthew 3 sets. The boys paired up together for the first time and won 3 sets against the top team. Safely in the semis the team is hoping for a top 2 finish.

Mens 5 Won 5-3 at home v Chatswood. Hugo/Tom 3 sets Denis/Graham 2 sets. Chatswood were the leading team.
With this win we are now in 1st position. A home semi final is assured.

Mens 6 Lost 5-3 at home v Mosman. James/Peter 1 set Daniel/Gabriel 2 sets. Still in 4th position.

Ladies1 Lost 8-0 away to Roseville. Still in 6th position but unlikely to make the semis.

Ladies 2 Lost 8-0 at home v Kooroora Gold. A protest has been lodged as Kooroora played two reserves with higher ratings than the players they replaced. Now in 8th position.

Ladies 3 Lost 5-3 away to Chatswood. Melinda/Erryn 1 set Barbara/Kate 2 sets. Still in 2nd position but 3 rounds remaining in this grade.

Thursday Ladies
Lost 8-0 at home v Royal Sydney

SOCIAL TENNIS NEXT SATURDAY WILL BE ON FOUR COURTS FROM 11.30AM TO 2.30PM

Teams are reminded to clean up the table and kitchen area after your home Badge Matches please.

Good luck to all teams this week and win your tiebreakers with conservative tennis!
