Final Results junior interclub
Many congratulations to the Under 14 Boys Team who WON Section 3. It came down to an exciting finish on their final match against Howick Club. Well done to the players Pranav (who went up a grading during the season), Tristan, Maria and Soham who have been very committed and to their Team Manager, Natasha Brooks.
The under 16 Boys Team in Section 1 also had many notable wins this season and although the final results are still pending, they are up in the top three contending for winners of the section. Many Congratulations to the regular players, Oscar, Austin, Leo and Alex.
The Beginners team finished the season in a very creditable 6th position in their section. For all these players it was their first taste of competitive tennis, and it was great to see the improvements over the season.
We would like to encourage and reward our youngsters next year by providing a weekly player of the day voucher ($10 for Subway or KFC etc) for each team and are looking for a few generous seniors who might like to sponsor a team for either a pre-Xmas or post-Xmas season (approx. 6-7 matches each). If you would be willing to be a sponsor, please get in touch with Sue.
Monday Beginner/Intermediate Club Night
During the winter months the Monday club night will only operate organised board play on the first Monday of each month, starting on Monday 6th May. Players are welcome however to come down and book courts and organise games between themselves on other Mondays.
First Wednesday of the month Club Night sausage sizzles
Wednesday 1st May will be the next club night sausage sizzle – bring your gold coins or pay by Eftpos.
Senior Weekend Club Day Changeover
Senior club day has been changed from Sunday to Saturday afternoons as of Saturday 20th April.
Cucksey Shield
The Cucksey Shield is an annual tennis competition between the 6 East Auckland clubs. This year Koru will be hosting the number 3 & 4 players on Sunday 28th April. You are very welcome to come and watch some high-quality tennis. Please note there will be no courts available for social play that day.
Senior Prizegiving
Planning ahead our senior prizegiving night will be held on Saturday 18th May from 7pm onwards - note it in your diaries! All are welcome to attend, finger food will be available and hopefully dancing later in the evening! Sign up on the sheet on the board and let us know you are coming. It’ll be a fun night.
Booking Courts
We encourage you to book courts over the winter months rather than risking just turning up as there are likely to be coaching groups using the courts more frequently.
Fetching balls from the back of the courts
We have noticed an increase in people going across the back of the courts to fetch their balls while the rally on that court is still going on. Please wait until play has finished before collecting your ball. This is both courteous and for safety reasons.
Membership rules
A friendly reminder that we are a members only club and if you would like to play with a friend who is not a member you are requested to pay the $10 visitor fee online to Koru Club. Thank you for your support in upholding our members only status.
