‘Club champs this year went well. We had good entries in the B grade singles and doubles.We also had good numbers in the junior events. Our entries in the womens were down but I am hoping some of the younger girls in our coaching program will step up over the next couple of years,’ Stephen Gort from the Northern Rivers Tennis Academy told The Echo.

In the B grade, Shareef won the men’s singles while father and son duo Yantra and Richard Whitling won the men’s doubles.

Director/head coach of the Northern Rivers Tennis Academy, Stephen Gort, told The Echo, ‘Amadeus had made two finals in previous years, so this was third time lucky for him to take out the open men’s event’.
