Club Captain’s Report
Three of our teams played semi finals of Sydney Badge on Saturday and unfortunately we had three losses. Two teams had washouts so will play their semis next Saturday.
Results Semi Finals
Mens Division 1 Washout at Zone Tennis at Wheatleigh St Naremburn. Our Team plays again next Saturday and if a washout again Zone Tennis go to the final as 1st placed Team.
Mens Division 4 Lost 5-3 away at Heffron Park. A close loss to the top team with Dan/Vincent winning 3 sets and Jarryd/Justin playing well with no sets. This Team had a great season and pushed the top team in the semis. Well done.
Mens Division 7 Washout at Cammeray. The match will be replayed next Saturday and our Team is lower placed so hopefully no rain is around.
Mens Division 9 Lost 5-2 to Marrickville at Manly. A disappointing loss as Manly was the higher placed team.Hugo/Denis 2 sets and leading 4-2 in the last set when Marrickville stopped as the match was decided.Chris/Richard went close losing 6-4 6-5 in 2 sets. Still a good year for this Team.
Mens Division 10 Lost 8-0 to Killara at Killara. Killara were much too strong for this Division and will win the final easily. Daniel/Ben Brett/Lachlan tried hard and can be proud of their results this year.
Ladies Division 5 Washout at Beecroft. The Ladies have done well to secure 2nd position on the ladder and will play a Final next Saturday at Collaroy. There are no semis in this Division as only 6 Teams. Good luck to our Ladies.
September is fees time so ensure if you have changed your email lately that our secretary has your new one.
Club Championships will begin after the School Holidays in October so practise your singles as well as doubles play.
SOCIAL TENNIS WILL BE ON ALL COURTS FROM 11.30AM EACH SATURDAY NOW.

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.
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.

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

A total of 154 teams have been entered into the Badge competition for Season 2022.
Please see attached the preliminary grading for each Division. We entrust that you will pass these gradings on to your relevant team contacts.
Some things to note:
An influx of entries into high divisions within the Saturday Men’s Competition including:
Division 1 = 9 Teams
Division 2 = 13 Teams
Division 3 = 14 Teams
This made the top 3 divisions very competitive and as a result we have created additional divisions to accommodate the demand. Given the strength of the competition the majority of teams will be ranked lower than requested and compared to previous years so please take this into consideration should you wish to make an appeal.
The Saturday Ladies competition had a similar situation with (12) teams requesting Division 2. We have again created another division in 2022 and majority of teams will be in a lower division than what they originally nominated.
As a result of this release, any team that wishes to appeal their preliminary grading must do so through the Badge Delegate via the link provided here in accordance to Rule 9 – Grading Appeal. As per the rules (copied below) appeals must be received within 4 days of the release of preliminary grading. Please provide as much information about your team as possible including ratings and 2021 results.
Link to appeal
Please note the deadline for grading appeals is 5pm on Friday, 18th March 2022. No late appeals will be considered by the panel.
Currently Tennis NSW is having extensive email issues where we are unable to access the Sydney Badge email and are not receiving external emails into the NSW Leagues email. Please make sure that you are making your appeal via the above link to avoid missing out. Once the email issue has been resolved we will advise.
We look forward to another great competition in 2022.
Kind Regards.
TNSW Competitions Team.
