MLTC Newsletter – 2 August 2022
Round 11 of Sydney Badge produced a variety of results for our teams with big wins, big losses and two tied results.
With three rounds remaining three of our Mens Teams are safely in the semi-finals and the other three all still have a chance so good luck to all our Teams for the last three rounds.
Round 11 Results
Ladies 1 Lost 7-1 away to Western Suburbs. Janelle/Julia 1 set
Ladies 2 Won 6-2 at home v Chatswood, Virginia/Sarah 4 sets Carolina/Kirsten 2 sets. Virginia has been playing very well this season. Proving she is not only an efficient secretary but very accomplished at tennis and lawn bowls. Good to see Carolina back on the court after her enforced break.
Ladies 3 Lost 4-3 away to Roseville. Kate/Lindy 1 set Barbara/Sue 2 sets. The Ladies are still in second position and hope to remain there as there is only a final in this grade.
Mens 1 Lost 8-0 away to The Hills. A long drive there and a longer drive home!
Mens 2 Tie 4 sets all games even. Milton/Fernando 2 sets Wilko/Netto 2 sets. This team still has a chance to make the semis with good results in the last three rounds.
Mens 3 Won 6-2 at home v Neutral Bay. Dan/Justin 3 sets Jarryd/Vincent 3 sets. Another good win to safely be in 3rd position
Mens 4 Tie 4sets all games even v Kooroora at home. Shishir/Matthew 3 sets Larry/Bede 1 set. Next match v Cammeray at home will decide if this team can become the new leaders. They look safely into the semis.
Mens 5 Won 7-1 at home v Killara. Chris/Graham kept up their winning partnership 4 sets. Richard/Tom 3 sets. This Team is safely in the semis and trying for top position next week v Chatswood.
Mens 6 Won 4-4 on games v Neutral Bay away. Lachlan/James 2 sets Christo/Nick 2 sets. A close win to take 4th position and a win next week v Mosman will put them further ahead of 5th position.
SOCIAL TENNIS WILL BE ON TWO COURTS ONLY FROM 1130AM TO 230PM
Owen Kennedy is back in hospital again so we all wish him the best again to get well soon and out of hospital.

Court Bookings by Members
A few quick reminders about booking members courts outside of social times.
- Please keep to the rules around how long you can book courts for. This is 1 hour per person per booking, except 1.5hours for doubles on Sunday. This allows fair use of the courts for all members.
- If you have booked a court and can’t use it – please cancel it as soon as possible to allow another member to take the court. You can cancel a court in a couple of clicks from the email booking confirmation you received when you originally booked.
- If you are bringing a visitor, please pay for them at the time you book the court. A member can bring a visitor 6 times/year.
- The link to book members courts is https://www.tennisvenues.
com.au/booking/manly-lawn-tc and can be found on the home page of our website under Membership – Members Court Bookings (see pic below)
This takes you to a page like the one below to book a members court. Click on any available time (blue text on white background) and complete your details. You’ll get an emailed confirmation.
Note – if you’re on a phone and scroll to the very bottom of the screen, switching to ‘Desktop View’ will show you a more detailed view of who has booked (you’ll need to scroll left and right to view). The standard phone view defaults to only show courts that are still available.
If all members courts are full, you’ll need to either call the pro shop to book and pay for a court on 9977 3159 or use Scott’s MTC form below.
Note – this form titled ‘MTC Court Hire’ below is NOT for booking a members court and if you request a court this way, you’ll need to pay MTC for court hire.
We’ve had great feedback overall from the online member’s courts bookings. Please do not hesitate to contact Sarah or Virginia if you need any help using the online booking system.
Best wishes,
Virginia
MLTC Secretary
