Club Champs Wrap Up – Week 1

What a brilliant start to the Club Championships this weekend. The quality of the tennis over the 32 matches played, kept the players on their toes and the spectators enthralled throughout the entire weekend. There were some absolutely spectacular performances across the board, with the scoreboards not always reflecting the quality of the matches and the outstanding individual performances on court.

 Our first event is complete! The A-Grade Women’s Doubles featured some marathon matches over a four hour period culminating in the final between Johanna Isherwood & Sally Hay against Ruth Jarvis & Suellen Taylor. This incredibly tight match ended in tiebreak, won by Suellen and Ruth. Congratulations to all players and particularly our new A-Grade Women’s Doubles Champions – Ruth and Suellen.

Please double check your times as many have changed & it’s a huge challenge to accommodate all the requests. If you can’t play as scheduled, please let Christine know ASAP – [email protected] or 0459 808 316.

Bar help needed for Seaside

The 2023 Clarke & Humel Manly Seaside Championships will take place once again between 26th-31st December and is the biggest event on the club’s calendar attracting many top players.

  • The club runs the bar during the tournament and we encourage members who have their RSA to volunteer to help out behind the bar for a few hours on one or two days (or more!) if possible.
  • If you don’t have your RSA but are available during the Seaside and willing to volunteer for a min of 4 hours behind the bar, the club will cover the cost of getting your RSA qualification. You would be responsible for arranging this yourself, ensuring the course is completed before Christmas and submitting the invoice to [email protected] for reimbursement.
  • We also need people to help with signing in of non-members & guests to meet Liquor Licensing requirements. (This role does not require you to hold RSA.)

If you’re interested in either role, please speak to Milton or email [email protected] or 0411667978.

Have a fabulous week ahead and we look forward to seeing many of you at the club this weekend for some more great Club Champs matches.

Best wishes,

Acknowledgement NSW Grant: LED Lights

/in /by

On behalf of the Manly Lawn Tennis Club, we express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the New South Wales Government for awarding a generous grant of $10,000, aimed to facilitate the installation of LED lights on courts 5 & 6.

This grant embodies a shared commitment to promoting sustainability and enhancing the sports infrastructure within our community.

The grant provided by the NSW Government was allocated to improve visibility and enhance the overall playing experience on our courts by installing advanced LED lighting systems. This effort is in alignment with our continuous pursuit to create an inclusive, safe, and high-quality environment for tennis enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.

We believe that improved lighting will encourage increased participation and facilitate extended playing hours, allowing more members of our community to engage in physical activities and experience the joy of tennis. Enhanced visibility will also ensure the safety of our players, minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries during evening play.

We, the Manly Lawn Tennis Club, formally acknowledge the financial support received from the NSW Government, and we express our heartfelt thanks for investing in the development of local sports facilities.

MLTC Newsletter – Badge Finals Report

 Manly Lawn Tennis Club Newsletter – Finals Report

Club Captain’s Report

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE

Manly 5 Men’s were our only winning Badge Team this year as our other two men’s teams were both defeated 5-3 in their respective finals match.
Manly 5 def Hunters Hill 3 at home 5 sets to 2
This was a very high standard match and the Manly team played their best tennis at the right time to defeat a strong Hunters Hill Team.
A fired up Hugo together with Alec set up victory by splitting sets with the pair with the best percentage in division 8 this year. Meanwhile Graham and Tom were beating the other pair in straight sets.With a 3-1 lead at the break Hugo and Alec won their 2 sets against the other pair easily whilst Graham and Tom lost a close set to the better pair.
Time was called with Manly winning 5-2.
Chris Diaz and Denis watched on whilst Richard Badham was getting updated results whilst trekking the Bonnie Hills  of Scotland. Gavin also played one match and was watching on.
There were some strong teams in Division 8 this year but by coming first and getting a home court advantage was the key to success.
Manly 2 Lost 5-3 away at Kooroora
A close loss but nevertheless a successful season for this team.
This was a very strong division also and our guys went down to the wire.
Sam and Warren won 2 sets whilst Bosko and Steve Nettleton won 1 set.
Other team members were Todd Maloney Jono Walker Harry Faeste Steve Wilkins
Nick Horton and Chris Green.
Manly 7 lost 5-3 away at Sydney Olympic Park
A close loss again to a team that had a perfect record in Badge was a gutsy effort.
Our guys played extremely well to a team that consisted of tennis coaches.
Barnaby and Tom won 2 sets and Dave and Stu won one set.
The team can be very proud of their performance this season.
Tony Hamilton captained the team well and played several matches as did Brett Luntz .
Ray Dummett and Mark Flogel also played one match each.
Thursday Ladies
Won 6-2 v Roseville to take 3rd place
After missing the final on percentages our ladies took 3rd place in the playoff
Erryn and Lisa won 4 sets Michelle Lindy 2 sets.
Well played Ladies.
Our thoughts now turn to the Club Championships which will be held in the last two weeks of October.
Details will be announced next week and entries will open then.
Adios amigos
