With a couple of extra teams this number should be over 60 this week.

There was a great mix of players from first time competition players to very experienced players and from as young as 10 to more mature aged players.

Team Tarrant were on fire with a strong win over team Simpson. A couple of the sets were close but Gaye and Chris dominated with two 8-0 wins each.

Two of the youngest members in the competition Will and Poppy had a win in their first match together and guided by their parents Nicole and Lisa came out on top against the young team Jayden of Candice, Ella, Ellie and Jayden.

All of these young players improved over one night and it will be great to watch their improvement over the entire competition.

The all female team Meeuwisse of Kim, Colleen, Angela and Megan came out on top against team Orford.

The sets on the night were all very close but an 8-0 win from Kim and Colleen made the difference on the night.

Welcome back young players Holly and Charlie to tennis. It’s great to have you back and playing with experienced players Phil and Val will be great for your tennis.

Browns defeated Gibbs in a fun nights tennis. Joe, Renae, Karla and Bianca are the comeback team with many of them having had many years away from tennis.

Although a little rusty last week they are bound to be fierce competition in the future.

James, Kyle, Sharon and Rosalie were too consistent on the night.

Glen and Danny got team Hampton off to a great start with a 7-1 win in a very hard hitting match against Noah and Ky but team Garratt lifted their game and to take the win at the end of the night.

The Hamptons had another family combination with Danny playing with son Kayne and also a new member Marine. Cindy and Mikelli were strong players and did not lose a set.

Eversons defeated Medways by just two games. All of the sets were 4-4 but one win to Terry and Lorraine 5-3 proved the difference on the night.  Helen was also a strong player.

Brett, Leanne and Jenny played some great tennis in this very close match.

Team Fitzsimmons also had a close match against the Bowds. Jenni, Fran, Simon and Lucas won most of the sets 5-3 to give them the edge on the night.

This team has a great combination of youth and experience. Well done to Kerrie and Sue who had the only win for team Bowd 6-2.
