Tennis tournament success

- By Therese Temple

Luna (moon in Spanish): Something the Italians were not over... I love autumn. Long balmy days before daylight saving ends. We get lots of settled weather that is great for tennis.

Our successful tournament was played on the 13th and 14th March. A great turnout for Ōmokoroa and Te Puna and a big thank you to Andrew Dallas and Ian Duncalf for organising the event and to the committee members who helped to make it a success. We hope this becomes the sought-after tournament in the Bay of Plenty. Mens Doubles

Congratula­tions to the winners and runner up players and thank you to all who participat­ed in the tournament.

Ōmokoroa Tennis is very lucky to have local businesses sponsoring the club. Tremains and Guild and Spence were the major sponsors of our tournament. Other sponsors were Oregon ITM, Mike Greer Homes, Bespoke Physio and Fresh Choice. Thank you for helping make our tournament possible.

If you sell your home through Tremains they will donate $500 to the organisati­on of your choice. Rosemary and Murray Treloar recently sold their home through Tremains and nominated Ōmokoroa Tennis Club as the recipients. Thank you so much.

The most recent sponsors for club sponsorshi­p are Belco Homes and GT Signs. The club is very appreciati­ve.

Club Champs are next. Junior coaching is going well, as is Cardio Tennis. We have added another course as it's been so popular. Bring it on!
