Lots of news to report

by admin in 2021, SPnews 0 comments tags: news
Watching Paul Coll clean up world no 2 Ali Farag 3/1 to win the British Open was a revelation. His physicality was massive allied to some great match tactics; minimal unforced errors, lobbing at every opportunity and driving Ali continually into all four corners. Having beaten the no 1 in the semi final he's at this point in time the leading player in the world. He hails from Greymouth, is the first Kiwi male to win the British Open, hasn't been home in 3 years I'm told and is a very popular player on tour. Quite a remarkable story and a coup for the NZ squash world.

What a difference a week makes!

Really disappointing to have to close the club with so much momentum having been generated. The club is fully closed under Level 4 and, due to the nature of the sport, this will also be the case in Level 3. I have no doubt that the lockdown will continue until beyond next weekend. Once we have some certainty on reopening the committee will meet to discuss the prospect of membership credits. In the meantime it would be appreciated if outstanding invoices are paid.

Well it's been a hell of a 6 months since the club last locked it's doors on 27th February but here we go again! Court bookings are now not possible until midnight on Tuesday 24th August before which time I'm sure we will have further news that will govern ongoing restrictions.

Want a club shirt/ Interclub update/ Kauri Park intake/ Tournaments

by admin in 2021, SPnews 0 comments tags: news
With the tennis club lease expiring next May it's exciting to report that the council have approached myself about the instigation of a lease agreement for the club. Previously, we've survived with an informal arrangement and it would be good to enter a formal arrangement.

A marvellous effort by our D grade Superchamps squad to win the regional title and qualify for nationals from Sep 22-25 in Manurewa. Additional to the players photographed Sophie also played two matches and Daniella one. Our E grade ladies as bottom seeds beat North Shore and acquitted themselves well against higher graded opponents. Ernie will now be guiding the D grade team towards the national eliminations which will be intense.
