What a fun time we’ve all had out at Night Tennis this Spring. We had 2 Divisions running this season, with the Finals Night being played on the 19th December. Some players got into the spirit of things with various Christmas themed accessories and outfits.

Div 2 Premiers this season were the Labradoodles – Captain James L, April P, Matt P, Shaun C  and injured player Alice P (team pictured below). Well done team!!  Well done also to Shaun who received the Best Stats Award for Division 2. Runners up in this division were the English Sheepdogs – Sandra W, Michael D, Vic Z, with absent team members Richard C and Caryn K not being able to make the final. Many thanks to James H who filled the gap for the team!

The Div 1 comp was very strong this season. The final was very close indeed, with the Border Collies (Eric H,  Robyn H, Mary Y, Amy P and Bill P, pictured below) sneaking ahead by just 3 games at the end of the night, to runners up Siberian Huskies – Josh W, Mal M, Anna D, Andrew M and Jackie M. Great game guys! Best Stats Award for Div 1 went to Robyn H. You go girl!

A special BIG BIG thank you to the lovely Chris Geue (seen below) who has again assisted me with putting teams together, opening up courts, packing up at the end of the night, and acting as a second set of ears to help me make decisions – Chris I love you being my Deputy!

Here’s a few more photos of the fun, frivolities and friendship that was had at the Spring Night Tennis Finals. If you are interested in signing up for our Summer Season CLICK HERE to register.  The new season commences early February and registrations will be open until the middle of January. Places limited to 60 people. Happy hitting, and see ya back on the court!
