Badge Semi Final Round July 10:  Manly has excelled itself again this year in the Sydney Badge Competition and subsequently we have 6 teams out of 10 teams competing this Saturday in semi finals.  Of those 6 teams 3 have been crowned Minor Premiers which is a fabulous achievement so congratulations to:

Men's Team 2 playing in div 1:5 - captained (& coached so I'm led to believe) by Swanny!

Men's Team 6 playing in div 3:2 - captained by Ron Jeffs

Ladies Team 3 playing div 2:1 - captained by Sandra Tennant

These teams as well as Manly Men's 1 who came second in their division (1:3) will be playing their semi final matches at home so come on down and give them all your support:

Midday Semis:

Ladies Team 3

Men's Team 6

2.35pm Semis:

Men's Team 1

Men's Team 2

Good Luck also to the two teams playing semis away this weekend:

Men's Team 4 captained by Stuart Charlton who are taking on not only the Mosman team, but probably a dodgy grass surface as well!

Ladies Team 2 captained by Kristina Curtis who are heading up to Terrey Hills to take on an undefeated team - now is the time to bring out the A Game and take them down!  They have been lulled into a false sense of security so are ripe for a loss!

Good Luck to all teams on Saturday and here's to celebrating some winners at our annual End of Badge dinner...

Date for your diary:

Saturday August 7th - Annual MLTC Celebratory Dinner.  Details to follow.

Please come on down on Saturday & lend your support to all the teams, but leave those World Cup vuvuzelas at home!!

See you at the weekend,

Regards,

Katie & the MLTC Committee

End of Badge BBQ:

This Saturday, July 3, sees the end of the rounds of badge comp and we have 6 teams from 10 presently in contention for semi final spots!  The BBQ will be starting at 7pm to allow teams playing away from Manly to get back to enjoy some snags & celebratory beers!  Please confirm if you will be attending the BBQ so I can cater accordingly!

 

Big Screen Events on Saturday night July 3:

England v Australia One Day Cricket from 7pm

Despite England having won the series can Australia step up and win a one day match?  Watch the action unfold on Saturday night at the club followed by: 

 

Wimbledon Ladies Final:

This year could see Serena Williams taking on a relative unknown - could it be the year of the under dog!?!  We'll be showing the match live from London on the big screen... 

 

Internal Comp 2010

With Badge almost over thoughts are turning to the next competition and the return of last years successful internal comp.  If you are interested in playing please put down your details on the notice board by Saturday 17th July

 

That's all for now team Manly...Good Luck to those playing on Saturday!

Sydney Badge Email March 9: The draws for Saturday Mens and Womens are now finalised and available via the Sydney Badge Tennis website (see below). Many thanks to your patience and feedback as the draw has been rolled out. Please read below before viewing the draws.

For the first 3 rounds of the competition, due to daylight savings the matches scheduled are

  • 'A' matches = 12:00 - 3:00pm

  • 'B' matches = 3:05 - 6:05pm

  • 'C' matches = 12:00 - 6:00pm (these are indicated by an 11:59am start time on the draw)

 

From Round 4 forward this reverts to

  • 'A' matches = 12:00 - 2:30pm

  • 'B' matches = 2:35 - 5:05pm

  • 'C' matches = 12:00 - 5:00pm (these are indicated by an 11:59am start time on the draw)

 

As some clubs have requested set times for their teams and some have requested a rotational basis, both of these are in effect in the draw. If there are any further requests to time changes for any of your teams, these can be made to sydneybadgetennis@tennis.com.au ASAP but no changes to round 1 times will be made (unless in the case of a direct conflict) Any changes to times of future rounds will be considered and if possible implemented with all teams in the grade notified. No changes will be made to the home and away structure for any team unless mitigating circumstances. The only changes considered will be a change from a 12:00 start to a 2:30 start or vice versa.

Please note that a number of clubs are using outside courts to assist with the number of teams they are fielding, so we ask you to check the draws carefully, especially with grades involving Cheltenham, White City, WC Lawn and Neutral Bay

Players are also reminded about the need for appropriate footwear especially in regards to facilities playing on natural grass. Flat soled shoes must be worn on grass courts and failure to adhere with this, will result in your team not being allowed to play at that venue at the discretion of the home team

As a reminder to assist with the implementation of the online scoring system a training session will be held on Thursday night. Details are below and we encourage all delegates and captains to attend. Further documentation will be circulated prior to the start of the competition.

All captains and delegates, should have received an email with login details and if you have not please email sydneybadgetennis@tennis.com.au informing us.

Should you have any questions, please direct them to sydneybadgetennis@tennis.com.au to ensure you receive a timely response

Scores on the Doors from MLTC:  I can't believe it's March already and a new badge season is almost upon us!  A few news-worthy items to bring to your attention ahead of what we hope will be another successful Manly Badge Comp!

Manly Lawn Tennis Kit:  This year we are launching a new range of Manly Lawn Tennis kit - Scott & Carmella have been working with Slazenger to secure us a deal as well as sample stock so we can try on shirts, shorts, skirts, jackets etc...  The samples have arrived and will be available for you to try on from this Saturday for a week before we place the orders & get embroidery done!  It's fantastic kit in Navy & White and as it's Slazenger we know that the kit has been designed for tennis...  We encourage all to take a look and purchase as it's certainly intimidating when a team step on court in matching attire!  This applies to social matches as well as comp!!!

Bareena Challenge Match:  Many Thanks to those who played last Sunday on what was one of the hottest humid days of the year!  Still the heat in the air was equally matched on court with a smokin' performance by Manly who avenged last year's defeat with a crushing 26-14 set win!  It was a fantastic day supported by a number of Manly members coming to watch and highlighted what a great club spirit we have!  More details on the win can be found on the website!

Manly Lawn Tennis Library:  What is this you're probably saying to yourself!  Well might you ask - with a few donated books we have set up a library in the club office!  Anyone keen for a book to read on the ferry or between sets can grab a book!  We would ask that if you are taking a book that you donate one too so that this becomes more of a book exchange and ensures a variety of different genres to select from!

Badge Draws:  Badge draws have now gone up on the Tennis NSW website and is available at: http://www.tennis.com.au/pages/default.aspx?id=6013&pageId=9704
