Cucksey Shield
The Cucksey shield (East Auckland clubs one day competition) was played on Sunday 21st May with great spirit and some excellent results for Koru. Overall Koru came second in the competition, for the second year running, just being beaten by Howick. Of particular note was one female player who played all day at Howick club in position 6 and won every one of her 10 games – an amazing day’s tennis – well done Jennie Rayner.
Health and Safety
We are aware that the backend of courts 3 & 4 (i.e., behind the baseline under the tree canopy) are especially slippery in this wet weather. We have very recently water blasted and sprayed them yet again and are currently doing this on a monthly basis. Although this removes the majority of the moss and mould growing there it is not shifting completely and still remains hazardous. We will be spraying again but in the wet weather that area is constantly in the shade of the trees, and we would remind members to be as careful as they can when playing on these courts. It is helpful to also try to remove the leaves that gather frequently at the back of the courts as this makes the area safer.
Winter interclub
We have one men’s doubles team in the winter interclub competition skippered by Clint Jarman. Good luck guys.
Mulled Wine Wednesday
We are planning to celebrate mid-winter and warm ourselves up with some mulled wine on Wednesday 28st June. Come along and have a glass with us.
General Reminder
Please make sure you lock the court gate when you leave the club, we have found it open a number of times recently.
