Normac Rural take out Beechworth tennis

By GREG CLYDESDALE THE final round of the Beechworth Tennis Club summer competition ended with club president Mick Cavallin leading the Normac Rural side to well deserved victory and for Mick, a repeat win of the much revered winning headband. Mick, Will Sargent, Sue Fendyk and Olivia Bennett can wear the trophy with pride knowing that the final win over Myrtleford Furnishing and Floor was based on a season where they played consistently and improved their cohesion and team play under Micks positive coaching. Burder industries team led by Ben Croome finished worthy runners up and could have challenged Normac even closely if they had had less call for substitutes during the season. Beechworth Coffee Roasters finished the season with Will Stanistreet, John Sheehan, Ann Henderson, and Simone Sockett challenging with their reliability all season to finish a close third. Indigo Real Estate leapt over the Furniture to take fourth position. The balance of the ladder saw all sides finishing with totals that showed their close competitiveness. With an emphasis on fun and enjoyment of what was a very social event, no one was disappointed with the season. All teams had occasion to use substitutes at all levels and so the numbers participating far exceeded the club's expectations. There were many surprise performances during the year and many of the substitutes performed wonderfully with new teammates on many occasions. Family involvement provided many enjoyable challenges during the season and undoubtably the younger generations benefitted from playing against the more mature and experienced players. The club is pleased to recognise the improvement of all players and acknowledge this is due to the quality of the all weather courts they now play on. The courts provide a consistent bounce and, for the benefit of the older players, a softer surface which relieves stress on joints and muscles. The improved consistency will mean players can perform for longer more easily. With a barbecue to finish up on Wednesday, the club members reviewed the night and the season in good spirits. The club will be pleased to welcome more players to join in the fun with casual practice being possible at all times. Club members can access the courts through the committee to continue their improvement while coaching can be arranged when available. With so many players the club will be looking for greater use of the courts and is eager to arrange further scheduled matches to suit individual players availability. Please contact the club if you would like to be included in future competition.
