Welcome to the 2009 MLTC Internal Club Competition. .  Please check back here frequently for the latest news and draws provided by Ray and Barbara.

Semi Finals Report:  Well today saw another windy dusty morning – clear to a windy not so dusty afternoon! A day not conducive to great tennis – however – some hard fought tennis was played sometimes the wind won and other times sheer skill and determination came through! A great number of players today took the time to acknowledge the fact the competition had been a great addition to the M.L.T.C. calendar and how much they had enjoyed playing the format – so we will definitely do a repeat next year! Thanks to all the people who did make the effort to speak to members of the committee and tell us we “did good”! We do try!!

Division 1

Team 4 – Julia Nick and Swannie WON 3 sets 25 against Team 6 - Groomy Dean and Kirstens 3 sets 23 games - Another close encounter! Team 1 –Haesey Bob D and Edwina played Team 5 – Mike Des and Jules – they were 2 sets all and 18 games to 19 games – when Jules back gave way and the rest they say is history or misery! Finals will be 10/10/09 – Team 4 V Team 1.

Team 6 – Ray K Peter R and Sandra WON 4 sets 31 against Team 4 – Col H Bill J and Annette 2 sets 21 games. Sandra a 4 set winner here! Team 7 – Ray D Paul and Natalie WON 4 sets 28 against Team 2 – Mark F Bob H and Judy 2 sets 24 games. Again only four games in it! Finals will be 10/10/09 – Team 6 V Team 7

The finals will be played on courts 1 and 2 starting at 1pm. At the conclusion of the final there will be a Barbie- there will be social play and club championship matches on the other 4 courts-------so everyone please come and join in the club spirit.  Thanks – Barb Myers

Semi Finals Sep 26:  It's semi-final time at Manly Lawn Tennis Club. The inaugural internal comp has proved to be a great addition to the tennis calendar and it was a hard fought battle between all teams to make the Semi's! None the less four teams in each division are through and will battle it out from 1pm on Saturday. So I hear you ask - who exactly is in the semi's?? Final standings are posted and congratulations to all teams! Our thanks go to the Internal Comp Sub Committee who organised us the event - Barb, Ray, Nick, Sandra & Bob For those not involved in the semi's social courts will be available from 1pm. Regards, Katie, Katie & the MLTC Committee

Latest Update Sep 15:  It's coming down to the wire as we enter this weekend's last round of the internal comp and absolutely nothing is decided yet! In Division One we have team 4 sitting at the top of the table on 31 points, however this weekend they have the bye leaving the door potentially open for Team 5 to sneak into first place should they get a big win! We also have two teams occupying joint 4th place only 2 points behind third placed Team number 1 so the last 2 spots in the semi's are up for grabs on Saturday! In Division Two we have two teams in first place, however again one of those teams has the bye allowing team 7 to claim bragging rights with a win...however Team 7 shouldn't start shouting too loud just yet because nipping at their heels are two teams occupying joint 3rd place only 2 points behind them. Latest results have been posted.  Katie & the MLTC Committee

Latest Update Aug 30:  Another great weekend of tennis!! There were three matches drawn 3 sets all 26 games all!! The other three matches were 4 sets to 2 - with 2 / 5 / 7 games respectively being the minimal difference. Think the selectors have some pretty fine tuned teams here! We have been very fortunate with some spectacular weather - brilliant sunshine and don't forget its still winter!! The classic move on Saturday - was Ray Dummett who served one of his "high speed" bullets directly into a low flying bird - who unfortunately slipped away to birdy paradise - the force was too great! Its just great to see and watch some 36 members each week active on the social courts enjoying good standard tennis and mixing around the bar afterwards creating a fabulous atmosphere - well done Manly Lawn. Barb.

Internal Club Competition: The Committee is excited to announce an internal competition for its members instead of the traditional Spring Badge (which is on offer if you so desire). We think it will increase the camaraderie and friendship within the club – getting to know your fellow member – just a little bit better. Click here for details.
