The Combined Age Championships were completed over the weekend and the high standards continued as per last Saturday, Sunday..
Gordon and Quinton won The Mens 60+ Doubles Round Robin by one game where the result went down to the last game.(and line calls)
Krista/Sarah won the Womens 40+ Doubles quite convincingly from 4 other pairs. This completed the double for Krista who won The Combined 100 Womens Doubles last weekend.
The Mens 40+Doubles was played in 2 pools where a single game or two decided both pool winners.
In the final Geoff Dunstan/Stephane Fontes defeated Jon Corney/Gavin McVean 6-4. Gavin stepped in for Milton who was officiating at the NSW Nippers Surf Carnival. Milton’s daughter was a winning member of the NSW Girls Beach Relay Team so congratulations to her.
On Sunday 9 pairs contested The Combined 100 Mixed Doubles which was divided into two pools.
Krista/Howard played Michelle and Steve Nettleton in the final and a 5-4 victory completed a winning trifecta of events for Krista.
They paired up for the first time as did Michelle and Steve and the final was a thrilling set played in hot conditions.
Congratulations to all players who participated over the last two weekends. To those non winners, club spirit and friendship were the winners and your Participation Certificates are in the mail!
Congratulations also to Ruby Quigley who made the final of The NSTA Womens’ Open Division Singles Final on Sunday after some great wins along the way against older opponents. She lost to Sarah Munroe in the final. Ruby continues to improve and is a great representative for Manly Lawn Tennis Club.
All Badge Teams were entered last Friday and all Team Members should receive a log in email from Sydney Badge which you need to click on to register yourself. Their system only allows six players in your team, if there are more than 6, you will get registered just before you play your first match. The gradings will be available in two weeks time and another few weeks for the draw.

Ruby lost in the final of the NSTA Women’s Open Division this morning, Feb 26. She played well throughout the tournament and had some great wins against older more experienced opponents.The winner, Sarah Munroe however, was too strong. Great experience and represented Manly Lawn well.Well done Ruby!Source: Peter Quigly
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS SATURDAY FEBRUARY 25
MENS 40+ DOUBLES AT NOON
MENS 60+ DOUBLES AT NOON
WOMENS 40+ DOUBLES AT 3PM
SUNDAY 26
COMBINED 100 MIXED AT 9AM
Last Saturday the Mens 60+ singles was won by Rob Muir in a round robin of 5 players. Richard Badham was runner up.
The Mens 40+ plus saw some tough sets in hot conditions. Fernando Alves won his pool as did Geoff Dunstan his pool. The final between them was a long struggle in very hot conditions and with Geoff leading 5-4, play was stopped as Geoff was feeling unwell. Sportingly Fernando did not want to accept a forfeit so the title was shared. Both players will go down as joint winners in our records.
Fernando should be congratulated for his sportsmanship and club spirit. This is what the Club Championships are all about! So well done Fernando.
Sunday saw The Hilton Mace Trophy decided in the Combined 100 Mens Doubles. Sean White/Ray Dummett won their pool as did Alec Badham with his old man Richard. In a great final Alec and Richard survived a seesawing set to win 6-4. All 4 finalists then shared drinks afterwards in the clubhouse.
The Womens 100 plus doubles was then played with some close sets again. Krista Oates and Johanna Isherwood were the winners from five pairs. Congratulations to them as I believe this is the first time they have paired together.
Several members asked me if I had checked birth certificates as all the ladies looked so young!
Killara Tennis Club has asked if any of our teams are interested in playing a practice match against them? Either at our courts or theirs. Any Captain who is interested please contact me.
Good luck to all this weekend.
Denis Crowley.

The Badge Teams have been selected and are listed on our website and the notice board.
In the Mens Teams some players have been rewarded for their high percentages by being upgraded to a higher team. The selectors felt a few changes needed to be made from last year. The new members have been placed in the lower teams as they have not played Badge before and need to show the selectors their talent and if successful will be promoted next season. Consistency is the key to success in Badge. So good luck to all our new members.
A few Mens teams are light on numbers. This is unavoidable as we also tried to keep some friends together and an extra team was created. The new rules this year only allow 6 players to be listed in a team. Six reserves only can be added over the course of the season. So teams with more than six players need to add the extra player as needed each week. You do this by notifying myself or Virginia.
Players can also play up or down the grades as long as the replacement player has a UTR of no higher than .5 of the player he or she is replacing.
So a UTR of 6.5 in Division 8 can replace a player in Division 9 with a UTR of 6 for example. If a player has no UTR, permission is needed from Tennis NSW. Virginia and I will do this. All Badge correspondence must be through Virginia and myself as delegates.
You can reserve multiple times up or down the grades but still remain a member of your original team. The 3 match rule has been scrapped.
You need to play 3 matches during the season to qualify for the finals. If a match is washed out, the players listed down to play will qualify as one of their 3 matches for finals.
The Captains need to be aware especially of these rules.
Keirle Park
Since we have 4 Womens Teams and 8 Mens Teams, we have to use Keirle Park for two matches each week. All Teams except Womens 1 Team and Mens 1 and 2 Teams will play a match or two at Keirle Park.
Two Social Courts will be available each Saturday from 11.30am to 2.30pm.
We will play the higher grades in the later time slots unless an early time is requested.
Badge begins April 29 and gradings will be available in mid march.
Practice courts will be made available on Saturdays and Sundays for Team Practice in March.
A lot of news here but if you read it twice it will be beneficial. All teams should be aware of the rules.
Good luck to all our Badge Teams this year ( And The Bulldogs In NRL)
Denis Crowley Club Captain.
