NSNTA Premiers – Autumn 2011

Tim Benton

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.
