The Grahamstown Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club held a highly successful, inaugural Junior Tennis Tournament on Sunday 10 May.

Encouraging junior tennis in the district and to expose juniors to the concept of competition was the aim of the tournament.

Tournament co-ordinators, Morny Le Roux and Sonja Were, were delighted with the total entry of 92 children who elected to play and this certainly augers well for the future of tennis in the region.

Morny, Sonja and their team are to be congratulated for the initiative in taking on an event of this nature and for making it a resounding success.

It is clear from feedback from parents and children who participated that the day was well received and Rod Walker, president of the club, has indicated that they would like to make this an annual event.

The event was played at the Grahamstown club courts, Wyvern and at the Diocesan School for Girls Courts and the club would like to thank Cherie Biggs, Sheryl Emslie, Shirley Robinson and Ant Kitson for their assistance with co-ordinating play at each venue and the following for assisting them: Delia Duxbury, Kirsty Still, Milo Mills, Chris and Liezl Nel, Christelle and Andrew Hutchison, Carol and Glen Cuthbert.

The winners persevered in strong winds to come through victorious. The results in each section were: U8: 1st – James Mullins/Dale Brody, 2nd – Tom Mills/Ross Mullins; U10 Girls: 1st Jade Basson/Keisha Still, 2nd Amy Mills/Bonga Mbanda; U10 Boys: 1st Darin Holman/Scott Cuthbert, 2nd James Davies/ Daniel Davies, U12 Girls: 1st Judy Lee Harvey/Kelsey Purdon, 2nd Paula  Duxbury/ Kriston Sandy’s Thomas, U12 Boys: 1st Nicholas Zimmerman/Regardt Kitching, 2nd Cobus van Zyl/Bryan Geyer; U14 Boys: 1st Jayden Pienaar/Daniel Scholtz, 2nd Clifford Loock/Lloyd Turner.

In addition the club would like to thank Danber Feed Services CC, United Cash and Carry (Tony Naidoo), Re-Max (Jean Rodgerson and Alexis Bowker), Pick n Pay, Pam Golding (Kim Webber), UPB (Irene Ellis), Sothebys (Steve Birt), King Pie (Anton Strooberg), Steers High Street (Pierre Pienaar), Shu In (Alan and Sandy Thomas), Dulce Café, KFC – Eastern Cape, Roxbury Cinemas (Johnny Kluivers), Spur Grahamstown, Calabash and Scott’spot (Peter Reppinz), Rat and Parrot and Wimpy for their generous sponsorship and donations to the event.
