The Hills Tennis Association (HTA)

Please send any Junior Grand Final photos to me at barryfam@aapt.net.au with names of the team members. In the email please put as "subject" the team and division it refers to. I will collate at the end of the week and send to the Courier for publication on the 10th of April, Regards Ian Barry

The big day of the season is FINALLY HERE!!

While the weather should be kind to us tomorrow for our Grand Finals, there’s just a couple of things to note, to ensure the smooth running of our Grand Finals. If it does turn out to be wet:

• Please make every effort to complete the match on Grand Final Day. HTA strongly encourages all teams to persevere in order to finish Grand Finals matches, to avoid the inconvenience of having to complete the match on a different day.
• Rule 13.2 of our Rules of Match and Play contains information about abandoned finals matches. Every club should have a copy of the Rules at their venue if needed.
• No person can be forced to play on wet or slippery courts. 

The Hills Tennis Association wishes all teams participating in tomorrow’s Grand Finals a wonderful day of tennis and the best of luck!

Another HTA tennis season is coming to close. Hopefully all players have enjoyed the unique tennis experience that we enjoy in the Hills Tennis Association – sociable, friendly, yet fiercely competitive with the best afternoon teas on offer!! It may not be perfect, but HTA is one of the strongest Associations in the state and it’s something we should all be very proud of.

Below is a summary of the Grand Finals matches that are happening next weekend at Onkaparinga, Mount Barker and Littlehampton clubs.

Come out and watch the top teams in each division tussle for that elusive title of “Premiers”! HTA Life Members (Angus Thompson – Anembo and Adrian Pobke – Onkaparinga) will be there and it’s a great time thank these two, plus all of our other life members who have helped shape and make our Assoc what it is today. Thanks guys – we wouldn’t be here today without you!

All the best for a great weekend of tennis.
