September to Mid October Box League closes

The final match of the September -October  Box League took place yesterday afternoon in near hurricane conditions.
Witnessed by Pat Wendy and Myself, Charl won his match against Gus 6-4 7-5. The single point helped Gus go up to box 1. Unfortunately Charl had not played enough matches to gain points although his victory against Gus in impossible wind, was very entertaining, Gus might not agree.

Many thanks to Roger for the work he has put in to make this a great success.
The Box League has raised the standard and stoked  up competitive fires...
There will be many exciting matches in the next session

And now Without any more ado ...a word  from the Organiser.


Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have closed off the box league for mid October. 
May I ask that everyone makes an effort to complete their games for the sake of their other colleagues in the respective boxes. As you will see some completed 100% others were less “good”

Just a few comments: Tobie remains close to invincible, despite his ankle. Gavin has done well …….It’s the free “coaching” he receives socially. Gus re-marches to the top again. Sorry to read that Mark, Roy and Pia will not be available. Craig did well but has been too focused on watching the All Blacks play innovative rugby. Carol and Glynis have shown their determination and rewarded.

I will do my best to keep everyone informed the next couple of weeks and thereafter Mark and Gus will stand in as I follow Columbus’ route to the New World.

Best wishes and enjoy this final session

Rgds

Roger

The Clifton Tennis Club Annual Dinner at La Perla



The Annual Dinner and Prizegiving was held at La Perla restaurant in Sea Point.
The weather was rather cold so 2 long tables accommodating about 30 members were laid out in the middle of the restaurant.
It was a most enjoyable evening. A chance for members to enjoy each other's company with wine and good food.  We had special attention from the Maitre'd, Luigi, who went out of his way to accommodate  our needs while regaling us with stories about the Italian members who started the La Perla Cup.
It was particularly pleasing to have the company of  Jean Claude and Claudio.
After  the main course the Trophies were presented, much to the amusement of  the other visitors to the restaurant.
A list of Winners and Runners up is  available on the Competition page.
