GBJT Finals Day

Jun 14, 2009

A perfect winters day greeted our players and parents on finals day Saturday 13 June at The Queensland Tennis Centre at Tennyson.  Some great matches were played with many close results determining the winners on the day.  It was great to see how much all the players have improved throughout the season and this was very much on show on finals day.  The sportsmanship and team spirit displayed through the year and on finals day and a credit to all our players.  We also thank our Parents who help support and create the great club spirit we enjoy at GBJT.  In particular we thank our Level Co-Ordinators, Replacement Contacts, Parents-on-Roster and our GBJT Committee of Phillip Hoy, Chris Heath and Mary van Mourik.

We must also thank our great sponsors who support GBJT and create the opportunities for our players to receive such great prizes.  Our major sponsor is Head Sporting Products represented by Mr Don Nicol.   We also thank Mr Troy McGrath and all the staff at UQ Sports who look after us so well (particularly the great coffee) and Lisa from 30/40 Cafe.

Our results on finals day is as follows:
