Saturday was rain free and we were able to conclude the Combined Age Championships.

Sunday unfortunately was a washout again so the Combined 100 Mixed will be played sometime in the future.

On Saturday only 3 pairs played the 40 Ladies Doubles with Krista and Sarah winning the round robin.

The Mens 60 doubles also had only 3 pairs with Gordon and Quinton winning.

The Mens 40 doubles had two pools of 4 pairs each.

Geoff Dunstan and Stephane won Pool A and The two Steves (Wilko and Netto) won Pool B

In a tense final Netto and Wilko came from behind to win 6-4.

All winners on the day received a bottle of vintage wine from the Club’s cellar.

Badge Team Entry closed on March 6 and gradings should be released on March 11.

Any Captain unhappy with their grading has 48 hours only to submit an appeal with reasons why their team should be promoted. Send the appeal to me and I will forward to The Badge Appeals Panel.

Rain washed out The Combined Age Championships on Saturday and Sunday.

The courts were very damp on Sunday Morning and several pairs had already withdrawn from the event so it was decided to play the Combined 100 Mixed next Sunday.

All pairs entered for Saturday and Sunday will be entered for next weekend unless you tell me otherwise.

MENS 40 DOUBLES NOON SATURDAY MARCH 6

MENS 60 DOUBLES 11.30AM SATURDAY MARCH 6

LADIES 40 DOUBLES 11.30AM SATURDAY MARCH 6 WITH A STAGGERED START UNTIL 2 COURTS AVAILABLE

COMBINED 100 MIXED 9.30AM SUNDAY MARCH 7

Badge Teams will be entered this week and we have 6 Mens’ Teams and 3 Ladies Teams.

Thursday Ladies will have 1 Team.

By having less teams this year we will have 2 courts weekly and  4 courts available each fortnight for Social Tennis.

Paul Wigney’s Funeral was attended on Friday by a large number of people with MLTC members prominent.

Many eulogies were given about Paul’s long and interesting life. He was always smiling and willing to help and assist in all aspects of his life. He will be sorely missed.

Ron Jeff’s is recovering in hospital, we all want to wish him a quick recovery and look forward to seeing him on the courts soon.

CPR Course

We’d like to thank the 16 members who came along to the CPR training day with Surf Lifesaving NSW earlier in Feb. It’s fantastic to have more members who know how to perform CPR and how to use the de-fib machine (located on the wall outside the bar). All course attendees should now have received their e-certificate from Sarah. We hope to run another course in a year’s time.

Super Doubles on Thursday 18 November.

The Super Doubles will use courts 1,2 and 4. Court 3 will be available for social players who are not in the round robin.

Tennismania part 2

Tennis certainly was the winner on the weekend. Saturday being one of the best days tennis seen at the club for many years. Next Saturday should be even better with Four Finals on Court 1 beginning at noon .

The full draw and summary will be published on Thursday.

Sofie Sullivan is now a Four Time Ladies Open Champion after defeating Emily Peake in a titanic struggle 3-6 6-1 7-6. The match could have gone either way but Sofie was the eventual winner and pocketed $200 tax free for her efforts. Emily had to settle for $100. Congratulations to both ladies for their effort and sportsmanship.

Two Mens semis were next to be played with Cameron Green defeating Bosko Novakovic 7-6 6-2

and Andrew Riminton defeating Sean White 6-4 6-3.

Both matches entailed some long rallies with the top 2 seeds in Andrew and Cameron winning through to next weeks final.

Two Mens Doubles semi finals were played as well.

Cameron Green/Todd Maloney defeated Milton DaRocha/Jon Corney  6-1 6-3

Sean White/Jono Walker defeated Boyd Blackburn/Bosko Novakovic  6-4 6-2.

On late Sunday a Mixed Doubles semi was played and Maria Nicol/Andrew Riminton defeated

Carolina Penna y Lillo/ Milton DaRocha  7-6 6-3.

Finals Day November 20 will be a terrific day of tennis followed by a Brazilian barbecue.

See you there.
