- Contribute­d by CHARLIE WHITELEY

THE Paramount Tennis Club's autumn competitio­n finished on a high with the unstoppabl­e team of Nathan Astri, Ben Strachan, Andrew Brown and Amelia Day remaining undefeated in the A Grade competitio­n.

The awesome foursome, led by Astri who has been on fire so far in 2021, were too strong for all comers and finished two wins clear of their nearest opponents.

In the B Grade division, Mandy Wells, Jock Blackman, Matt Hare and Sammie Howard were first past the post with Stuart Eckford, Christine Sweeney, Charlie Quilty and Judy Knapp the runners up.

In the C Grade division, which again had the highest participat­ion of the three divisions, Paul Handsaker, Rod Carr, Ivy Johnson and Warren Barden went through the round-robin competitio­n undefeated, with Brad Edwards, Sam Moore, Colin Palmer and Libby Seymour runners-up.

Other awards for the C Grade competitio­n went to Kain Burns (most reliable reserve) and Sean Mccabe (most improved player).

Players can now sign up for the upcoming winter competitio­n which commences 12 July and runs for 10 weeks (term 3) across Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights (Fast4 tennis on Thursday).
