Season 1 - 2008 Fixtures Commence

Mar 13, 2008

Heatwave conditions welcomed us on the first day of our fixtures with tempatures in the shade of 40.2 degrees resulting in the cancellation of play for the day.  After all the rain we have enjoyed it was hard to believe our tennis would be cancelled due to the heat!  However it is great to see fixtures have commenced and from all reports the players have settled in and are enjoying the tennis.  It is important to remember that all players need to confirm with their Captain if they are playing each week.  Parents on roster must also remember to attend and provide support and assistance in accordance with the Parent on roster duties.  Most of all we encourage our players (and supporters) to enjoy the great game of tennis.

Nov 16, 2007

Season 2 finished on November 10 with Finals Day, which saw lots of great tennis and some very close matches to decide the winners on the day. It was great to see how much all of our players have improved since the beginning of the season.

At the conclusion of play, the BBQ and presentation of trophies was held with trophies presented to each of the team members for the winners, runners up and the winners of the best of the rest. The presentation Head sports bags for the most improved and best sportsmanship and gift vouchers from the UQ Pro Shop for each level were also made. At the conclusion of play the drawing of our raffles was also held and congratulations to all our winners.

A special thankyou must go to sponsors.

• Mr Don Nicol from Head Sporting Products who are the major sponsor of GBJT, made it possible with the many prizes for our players.
• The UQ Pro Shop and 30/40 Café also provided a number of prizes for the finals day and we thank them for their ongoing support.

We would also like to thank the many parents who volunteered for finals 'duties' and the BBQ which made the day proceed well. Warwick Nicol from Tennis Queensland was also in attendance to help with the presentation of the trophies and awards.

Congratulations to all players for their efforts throughout the season. It was great to see the improvement in the players as the season progressed and their high standard of sportsmanship.

Of particular note, our family want to thank the Parents and Players of GBJT for their generous support with the 'surprise' gift to us. Your thoughts and well wishes are certainly much appreciated and our visit to the Australian Open in January will be much more enjoyable because of all of you.

We trust everyone enjoys their holidays and Christmas and wish you all the best for the New Year.
