The other teams are competing well with a last push for a top spot coming up in the last few matches. The committee is working on few projects at the moment, fixing the fences, grooming the courts to prepare them for winter and changing the lights to LEDs. We will let you know on the progress and we will try to minimize any court down time that might be required. We have started some squad training for senior beginners and intermediates e-mail nic.burnie@gmail.com if this or coaching one on one is of interest to you. …for the juniors As we near the end of the season we have much to celebrate.
