Congratulations to the club’s C Special 3 Mens team who won their Grand Final on Thursday Night. The team, consisting of Simon Philpot, John Bevan, Clinton Shimmin and James Foster defeater Merlynston 32 games to 21. The team won every set throughout the night, with the last set being called off due to lights failing at Essendon. However, the match was well beyond doubt by then. All players performed well all season and the win was well deserved.
Well done to the entire team from the Committee and the entire club.
The first week of the NSNTA Autumn 2011 Finals series is complete, with the Club’s Mens C Special 3 Team winning their semi final.
The team, consisting of Simon Philpot, John Bevan, Clinton Shimmin and James Foster defeated Maribyrnong 29 games to 27. After a slow start losing the first two sets, the team finished strongly, winning three of the next four games. They play Merlynston at Essendon next Thursday.
Unfortunately, the B Special 1 Mens team were defeated by Buckley Park 32 games to 25. Despite only winning one set for the night, the team played very well against high quality opposition.
Good luck to the C Special 3 team for next week.

Due to events around the club of late, the committee has decided to move our yearly working bee forward a few months.
The Working Bee will be held on Saturday the 21st of May from 12pm. As always, those that attend are entitled to receive their Maintenance Levy Back.
(NOTE: If you attended the working bee last year in October and collected your maintenance levy, you cannot receive it again. Of course those who did not attend in October can still receive their maintenance levy).
The committee would very much appreciate as much help as possible. Any gardening tools that can be brought along as well would be beneficial.
We hope to see everyone there.
