Gisborne Junior Tennis Club had a great end to the summer season with two teams winning their grand finals. Congratulations to the B2 Redbacks and the D2 Bullets who won their grand finals in the Juniors' 2012/2013 Summer Season. We hope you had an exciting and memorable experience winning the grand final. 
Gisborne Tennis Club would like to thank all the team managers for organising their teams throughout the season and guiding them through the finals. 
Gisborne played off in the Section Two and Three adults in the Saturday afternoon summer grand finals. Both matches were close with Gisborne Black winning against Macedon in Section Two and Gisborne Blue was runner-up to Mt Carmel in Section Three. 
Gisborne Tennis Club's Open Day was held on March 24. The day included coaching, serve speed testing, lots of giveaways and cardio tennis. Congratulations to the raffle winners - first prize was Dorothy Ellen, second prize was Jenny Riding and third prize was Jo Campbell. Thank you to Curnow Tennis Mega Store East Keilor for the prizes and those who bought tickets to raise funds for the court resurfacing at the club. 
Gisborne is currently participating in the Macedon Ranges Tennis Associations winter competition with eight junior teams from sections A1 to C3 and one hot shots team. In the Saturday afternoon Winter Mixed Open Gisborne has five teams. We wish players and team managers the best of luck for the winter season.

Kyneton and District Tennis Club recently held its Junior Club Championships in wonderful weather. Many of the juniors had already had a full morning of tennis playing in the Macedon Ranges Tennis Association but showed great spirit to play on for a few more hours at the club. There was a mixture of doubles, singles and then a round robin followed eagerly by a late lunch.
The club thanked Wendy Ellis who organised the day for the juniors. Wendy has been at the helm of junior tennis in Kyneton for many years and club president Simon Meadows thanked her at presentation time for this wonderful commitment.
Thanks also to Jane and Steve Turner who have taken over the reigns to run the junior activity, with the great support of other parents and team leaders.
Congratulations to all the juniors who participated on the day and best of luck for the remainder of the winter season.
