Badge Results September 12
Manly 1 Lost 4-4 on games. Cameron Green/Andrew Riminton played great tennis to win 4 sets against very strong opposition. Sean/Bosko lost 4 sets. The team should be proud of such a great year in a very strong competition.
Manly 3 Won 5-2. This team has been top all year and had another good win despite losing Steve Wilkins on Friday with a back injury. The Tennis Whisperer (aka Rob Muir) stepped in and won 2 sets with Steve Middleton to ensure victory. Milton/Howard Smith played well to win 3 sets. The final next week against Neutral Bay will be a very tight match. Neutral Bay have been undefeated since they recruited a new player late in the season.
Manly 4 Lost 1-7 to Neutral Bay. On their home courts Neutral Bay were too strong. Sean/Vincent took one set and Geoff/Jarryd lost their sets. A good year for this team to make the semis once again as per last year.
Manly 6 Lost 1-7 away to Kooroora. Kooroora have not lost all year and won easily. Graham/Chris took a set and Denis/Hugo played also.
Manly 7 Lost 3-4 at home. Western Suburbs proved too strong on the day to win a close match. Stu/Peter won 1 set and David/Roger 1set plus a forfeit set. A good year for this team also.
Ladies 2 Lost 4 sets all on games at Kooroora. Unfortunately this loss means the Ladies miss a place in the final. They now play at home this Saturday in a 3rd v 4th playoff. Krista/Kristina won 3 sets again and Olivia/Elaine won 1 set.
Thursday Ladies Lost 2-6 away. A loss to the top team with some close sets. Lindy/Michelle and Narelle/Jane each won a set. The Ladies have one more away match this week and then should play a 3rd v 4th playoff at home on Thursday week.
Please come along on Saturday and support our two remaining teams.
Good luck to both. Manly to win!
