Club Captains Report 2002

It has been a year when I was rarely at club days as I spent my Saturday afternoons managing the Regional 1 team.

This year we had two new players, Eru Lyndon at no 1 and Kerrion Ball at no. 2. Together they made a formidable top doubles pair, and Eru also did exceedingly well in the singles.

The team was also well supported by Matt Sponner and Steve Chapman holding the 3 & 4 positions and Jeff Coleman.

Our main sponsor was once again Dick Werry. Thanks again Dick, and also I wish to thank Red Tomatoes Restaurant and Citizen Watches for donating some nice polo tops to the team.

Our best effort was the game against Thorndon where we only went down 2 - 4 against their top team. This set us up for the remaining matches where the teanm maintained a high standard of play.

The result of this team effort was for Stokes Valley to come Runners Up in the regional 1 competition and to win a $250 prize.

Thanks to all the players in all the other teams and all the past regional players over the years from the club who have helped the regional 1 team to get to this high level of tennis.

Regional 1 Manager.
