MLTC Newsletter 7Nov22 Club Champs, AGM and Xmas Party

Manly Lawn Tennis Club Newsletter

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.

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
