Squads: The junior development squads started last week and were outstanding in their effort and attitude. Our values for this term will revolve around lifting each other up; showing patience, tolerance, respect and encouraging our fellow squad members. Ben, Hannah and Helen all look forward to working with the two development squads during this term.
Bathurst AMT/JT: Jake Magill was still involved in the Bathurst tournament when this column went to print.

Night competition: Round 1 was played last and all teams looked to be in fine form. Deuce Bags defeated Wasted Potential four sets to two while Smashes defeated Mrs Browns Boys five sets to one.
The match of the round was between Racqueteers and Arndells Aces. Great to have Rem Henry a regular this comp and he and the war horse Angus Arndell took to the court. Their competitiveness shone through and they may have been a little stiff the following day as neother was giving an inch. Rem won their encounter 6/5. Holly McColl turned the tables and defeated Michael Somers 6/5 and then Hayden Williams showed his skill by defeating young Mitch Arndell 6/2. The doubles went two sets to 1 to the Racqueteers giving them a four set to two win.
The Dreamteam won five of six sets against T-Rex while the Tennis Team defeated The Questionables four sets to two. Night comp will continue tonight. Please check your draws for the BYE and if you need a SUB, please use players with the BYE.
