Finals Day Presentation

Nov 16, 2009

At the GBJT Finals Day presentation we were very fortunate to have present Mr Ken Rosewall and Mr Ken Laffey (President of Tennis Queensland) to present trophies and awards to our players.  Both Ken Rosewall and Ken Laffey spoke to the players and parents and congratulated everyone on the days tennis.  Ken Rosewall enjoyed the day watching his grandson William play on the day and it was a great occassion with many of the children (and parents) having their photos taken.  We thank both Ken Rosewall and Ken Laffey for attending on the day which I am sure will be remembered by many of the players (and Parents) for years to come.  Photos of the presentation are available on our web site.

 

GBJT Finals Day - 14/11/2009

Nov 16, 2009

A warm spring day greeted our players and parents on finals day Saturday 14 November 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, BBQ helpers and in particular Phillip Hoy our treasurer.

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 and Woolworths for the grant towards the GBJT tennis shirts.

GBJT Players Experience Clay And Grass Court Play

Oct 04, 2009

Recently a number of GBJT players enjoyed the experience of fixture play on the (real) grass and clay courts at the Queensland Tennis Centre at Tennyson.  It was a great chance for players to experience what it would be like at Wimbledon and the French Open and appreciate the change in surface from the normal bounce of the hardcourt.  It took some time for the players to adjust (particulalry on the grass) and was enjoyed by both players and spectators alike.  Some photos are available on our website.
