MINI TENNIS FUNDAY
June 2008:
One of our Cheriton Junior Girls groups did a fantastic job of organising a Mini Tennis Funday for players aged 4-10. The girls organised everything themselves - from the games, clipboards & score sheets, court setup, posters & marketing, and helper teams, to sorting out the parents for scone making and strawberry serving, and organising and supporting all the children throughout the afternoon. Congratulations to Millie, Becci, Olivia and Lissy, together with their team of helpers, for running a great afternoon. The winning boy player was Josh and the winning girl Bryony, but everybodyl had a fantastic afternoon of games and fun.
SCHOOLS TOURNAMENT - THE CHERITON CUP
2008:
Three schools entered our new inter-schools tennis tournament for 7 and 8 year olds this year: Itchen Abbas Primary, Sun Hill Juniors, and Cheriton Primary. Each school selected their own team of 8 players, aged 7 & 8 years, to play in our mini red tournament. All children played 3 singles matches each in their particular round robin box, with the individual wins added up to find the winning school team. Winners of the 4 boxes were: Ben, Daniel, Zac and William. The winning school this year, and the first school to win the new Schools Tournament 'Cheriton Cup', was Cheriton Primary School. Well done to all players, and very many thanks to the kind parents and school helpers who stood in the rain to referee on each court. We hope to make this an annual event, with schools competing for the cup each year.
CHARITY AROUND VILLAGES TOURNAMENT
July 2008:
The weather was finally kind and we had a great turnout for our Around Villages Charity Tennis Tournament this year. 7 local courts were used, with 7 or 8 players on each court playing round robin doubles matches all morning. All players gathered back at the tennis club for a great lunch, and a short talk by John Britton who explained the work of the charity we were raising money for - 'Get Kids Going'. Thanks to all who kindly let us use their courts for the tournament and hosted morning play, and thanks to Alison Pearce and her team of salad and pudding makers for arranging such a wonderful lunch, and to Jo Tyler for supplying delicious salmon and ham. We raised over £800 for 'Get Kids Going' - which will help go towards supplying sports wheelchairs for children. Very many thanks, and please play next year too!
CHERITON CHARGERS - MATCH ROUNDUP
July 2008:
The lastest team to face the 'Chargers' playing on form, were the 'Hales Stars'. Our Chargers team consisting of Jonny, Tim, George and Charlie, travelled down to New Milton and played at Hale Gardens Tennis Club. We won 2 out of our 4 close singles matches (Jonny and George both winning their singles), and George and Charlie produced a nail-biting deciding set tie-break in their doubles match narrowly losing the tie-break 10-12. Parents went home mentally exhausted from the tension!
