Finals Day - Season 1 2014

02 Jun 2014

Our Season 1, 2014 finals day was held at the Queensland Tennis Centre, Tennyson on Saturday 31 May.  It was a great day with many close matches to determine the outcome for the season.  The quality of the play was great to see as well as the sportsmanship on display.  Our Pennant Red players enjoyed the opportunity to play out their final on Pat Rafter Arena with the Galaxies winning by just 2 games.  We also had some teams playing on the clay courts which was very timely with the French Open on at present!

Our Players and Parents enjoyed the BBQ and at 4.30 we held the presentation of trophies including the singles tournament perpetual trophies and our awards for Sportsmanship and Most Improved Players.  This was followed by the drawing of the raffle.  A special thank you to our sponsors who provide a number of these prizes the players enjoy.  Full details of the Seasons results are below.

A special thank you to our Replacement Contacts, Level Co-Ordinators and parents who help out at Grading Days and the Finals day BBQ and Presentation.

All the best for the school holidays and we look forward to seeing many of you back for Season 2, 2014 which commences on 9 August 2014.

Season 1 2014 Commences

27 Feb 2014

GBJT got off to a great start last Saturday with the weather being very pleasant and not too hot.

If you need the team draw sent to you again, please let us know.  It is important to have the Team and Parent Roster information handy. The draw also has information about the procedures to follow if you need to find a fill in.

Some Captains have had difficulties contacting team members, so if you have not heard from your captain, please contact him/her and maybe give an alternate phone number or email address and the best time of contact.

Parents are reminded to know their Roster dates.  Having a parent supervising on each court each week helps the afternoon run smoothly and makes the play more enjoyable for the players.  If there are any problems on court, please let the Centre Supervisor know as soon as possible.
