A big crowd was in attendance last Saturday to see Cameron Green defeat Sean White in a tough match 6-3 7-5 in the Men’s Open Final. Cameron has now won back to back titles but Sean played a great match and was cheered on by his supporters. It was good to see the club packed out for such a worthy final.
The trophy was again presented by 7-time winner, Ken Grey (please see photo below). Also in the crowd was our own Tennis Whisperer and the oldest player ever to win the Men’s Singles – Rob Muir who was in his early sixties when he won the title.
Finals Next Weekend
We will have our youngest Ladies Open Singles Champion next Saturday when our two 14 year old girls – Ruby Quigley and Maria Nicol face off. They both won their semi finals last Saturday in straight sets.
Ruby and Maria will meet again in the Open Mixed Final at 5pm when Ruby will partner 13 year old Bede Kirwan and Maria will play with Andrew RIminton. Bede plays in the A Grade Mens Final at 1130am against James Graham aka The Road Runner. James will run all day so this should be a close match.
Schedule for Saturday 12th November
11.30am – MEN’S A SINGLES FINAL – Bede Kirwan v James Graham
2.00pm – LADIES OPEN SINGLES FINAL – Ruby Quigley v Maria Nicol
4.00pm – LADIES OPEN DOUBLES FINAL – Lisa Green and Caroline Bhaguandas v Nicola Bray and Bryanne Stewart

The A Mixed Doubles Final is Sunday at 9AM.
Full results and next week’s schedule attached.

Our three juniors are all performing well in the Championships. Ruby and Maria are in the Ladies Semi Finals in singles whilst Bede is awaiting his opponent in his A Grade Mens Semi Final.
Yesterday Ruby and Bede saved several match points in their Mixed Doubles win to progress to the Semi Final. Maria is already in the final with her partner Andrew Riminton. A great future is ahead for these players.
Matthew Curtis our other junior is attending a training academy on The Gold Coast for a few months so will return a much improved player.
Milton is restocking the bar this week and Jon Corney is preparing the food so Manly Lawn Tennis Club is the place to be on November 5. Plenty of Social Courts available all day.

THE FULL DRAW AND RESULTS ATTACHED.
MLTC Newsletter – Club Champs Results & Schedule
Manly Lawn Tennis Club Newsletter
The Club Championships are down to the semi finals stage next weekend with the bulk of the matches being on Sunday. This suits many of the players this weekend.
The top seeds have advanced in both Ladies and Mens singles and doubles so plenty of top tennis will be on display this weekend.
The full results from last weekend and next weeks draw are attached.
Ray Dummett is celebrating his 70Th birthday this week so everyone wishes him a great 70th . In fact most people I spoke to were amazed he was 70! Several thought he was 75 and one even thought 80! But seriously Ray has been a great stalwart of the club for many years and always is ready to help out in any situation. He is well liked by everyone (well almost everyone) and all the ladies will line up at his party to give him a big hug and kiss for his birthday. Have a great party Ray.
PLENTY OF SOCIAL COURTS AVAILABLE ALL DAY THIS SATURDAY.
Best wishes,

We were very fortunate to have some lovely sunny days this weekend to get the 2022 Club Championships underway.
Two events are already complete. Congratulations to the A singles winner – Michelle Stevens and runner up Lindy Meakins. Further congratulations to the A ladies doubles winners Catherine Williams & Kate Platter, along with runners up Lindy Meakins and Suellen Taylor – pictured with all the ladies who participated.
With so many entries this year, there’s another big weekend of matches ahead so we are praying that the weather is kind to our schedule. Due to the match numbers and player availability, we need to use one social court at 11.45am. Our apologies for any inconvenience – we hope this will be the only week that will need to happen (fingers crossed for the weather).
Please arrive at least 15 mins early before your match start time. If courts are free, Denis will try to get you underway. Court numbers will be allocated on the day so please check with Denis on arrival.

Please contact Denis with any questions regarding Club Champs.
We’d also like to say a HUGE thank you to Denis for putting in so many hours to try to accommodate the many requests for specific times/days. It’s a massive undertaking to do this with so many entries (and often has a knock on effect for many other matches). If the weather is kind this weekend, we should be through the bulk of the tournament.
AGM – The AGM will be on Saturday 12th November and official paperwork will come out this week. Please keep an eye on your inbox.
Bar News
- Club Champs HAPPY HOUR – 4-7pm $5 beer and wine during Club Champs – come and join us!
- Bar Staff – The Club is looking for a Saturday afternoon bar person to work 4 hours (around 2pm to 6pm). Must have RSA. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact Milton.

2023 Swan Hill Carnival | Tennis Seniors
We are calling for entries to play for NSW at the National Teams Carnival in Swan Hill, Victoria from 8-13 January, 2023. More than 80 grass courts in one place beckon players with courts just as good as those we experienced in Busselton, 2020.
You will find the entry form on our website https://www.tsnsw.com.au/tournaments at the end of the 2022 NRT events.
The Carnival is contested each year by all the states, plus there are usually a few other teams from New Zealand, Japan and sometimes other countries who wish to enter.
It commences on the Sunday evening with an Official Opening Ceremony and Welcoming Function. Attendance at this is optional as the tennis starts on Monday morning.
The Teams’ week consists of friendly rivalry and is a really good chance to get to know players from our own state as well as the other players who participate. Each state has a “State Dinner” on the Tuesday night, with both ‘old’ and ‘new’ representatives joining in a spirit of fun and camaraderie, sometimes they are on the dance floor until almost midnight – then have to get to tennis by 8am the next morning! TSNSW subsidise this dinner so its great value.
Teams of between four and eight players can be organised by yourselves or you can enter individually or as part of a team and our state Selectors will endeavour to complete your team.
You compete in up to two time slots per day. Each division has to play at either 8am and 1.20pm or 10.40am and 4.00pm, with each match lasting up to two and a half hours. All play is doubles and you start with two pairs playing two sets on adjoining courts. When those first two rubbers are completed you play two more sets on each court. If you use the same four players you must change pairs. You can introduce two new players if you have a team of 6-8 but only 6 can play in each match. Play ceases when the bell rings at the end of the two and a half hour session. Age groups are defined in 5 or 10 year increments depending upon the number of entries for Men and Women. Players can sometimes play eight sets in one day with a team of 4, but with larger teams, they get to have a rest. Play continues from Monday to Thursday in that format and there are semis or finals played on the Friday. You normally get a session or two, being a morning or an afternoon, off during the week
Averages are kept for each state’s matches throughout the week, and the winning state is the one with the highest average. Each night there is a dinner function arranged by the Swan Hill Tennis Club and the week culminates with a Presentation Dinner Dance on the Friday night. Attendance at all social functions is optional but our subsidised State Dinner and the Friday night Dinner Dance finale are highly recommended. If you stay on for the Individual Championships they don’t start till Sunday or Monday so Saturday can be a well earned rest!
