Peter hard at work scoring
On Sunday June 21st SOSUNS hosted an extremely successful tennis competition attended by over 50 athletes and approximately 100 spectators. This fantastic event was run entirely by volunteers, from Peter, Sue, Dave and Deb who spent countless hours preparing for the day to our wonderful umpires, ball boys and girls and barbecue people.
Marty ran skills comp and also umpired
There are simply too many people to name everyone, but on behalf of SOSUNS and the athletes THANK YOU - you are much appreciated!
Thank you also to the many sponsors who supported the day. These included Hills District Tennis Association, Bestever (Australia) Pty Ltd, Pat Nati, Sandy Oatley, Curves and Essentially Beautiful.

Unfortunately we had another clash of event times with SOSUNS dance so we missed seeing some of our regulars such as Mel, Shaun and Lachlan.
Our three players, Michael, Alistair and his brother Lewis had an action packed game that saw some great sprinting by Alistair to out run his Dad on first base and Mum on third base. The fielding from the adults was somewhat ordinary to say the least.
Audrey awarded a trophy to Lewis for the cracking hit of the day!
We had a special guest, Audrey’s Mum Dot, who is visiting from Melbourne and she managed to keep Audrey on her best behaviour! Thanks again to Andrew Eustace for assisting Audrey with the coaching.
Given this coming Sunday is on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, we will take a poll to see whether we play or not.
Finally, many happy returns go to Ian, Alistair’s Dad, for this coming weekend.

The only two players, Carmen and Michael, enjoyed one-on-one coaching. Brett taught a new skill of picking the ball up off the ground cleanly, ensuring that you have a good grip. Audrey awarded a trophy to Michael for concentration and listening.
A big thanks to Andrew Eustace who also diligently assisted with activities (as normal) despite Mel having a day off. Mel had uncharacteristically slept in after getting home in the wee hours from a big SOSUNS dance performance. So we will excuse her this once!
Looking forward to seeing you all back ready for a great session next week!!!!
