Singles Tournament:  What a day!  25 men and 8 ladies competed throughout the day to see who could reach our club finals day on Saturday 23rd July.  The ladies started us off in the morning and had to compete against each other as well as the rain!  They braved the conditions and manged to get the semi finals played before lunch.  The men took a while longer, but by 6.30pm we had a semi final line up which will be played before finals day.

Results as follows:

Ladies Main Final:  Maria Perfect vs Ros McKeown.
Ladies Plate Final:  Julie Cooper vs Anthea Yeung.

Men’s Main Semi Final 1:  Luke House vs Tom Sippy.

SHLTC Open Day:  Please remember this Sunday 3rd July 11-1.30pm is our annual club open day.  All members are welcome to come along to help out on the day and promote the values of the club.  Free junior coaching 11-12pm, followed by family free play 12-12.30pm.  Free adult coaching 12.30-1.30pm with the chance to try out wheelchair tennis once again.  The Board of Directors and coaching team are expecting quite a few people to come along to try out tennis, some for the first time.  Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
