Friday 25 March to Monday 28 March – Photos My 18th annual Myrtleford Easter Tournament dating back to 1998 has just been completed. The earlier in the year Myrtleford Easter Tournament are also the best, daylight saving a still on and the weather is generally better and this was definitely the case in 2016. My…

Friday 03 April 2015 – Monday 06 April 2015 – Photos My first tournament since starting a gym program with personal trainer Kevin and I had high expectations. I even re-entered the singles event for the first time in 4 years. While the results didn’t go my way I definitely felt it wasn’t due to…

Highlights: Playing (& winning a set) with my mum on her 70th birthday! Erin’s bunny dance. The annual event I have been coming to since 1998 only missing in 2006 when I was in South Africa for a world trip. The 16th time I’ve played and no winners but last year’s singles runners up being…

Steps 10,786 The last official day of play as we close out the tournament. Andrew and Josh lost their A Grade doubles match to a team that included Andrew Florent who was a former world number 13 in Doubles. They got 2 games and seemed happy. Catherine and I had to play Brian Bishop and…

Steps 17,776 The day started with disappointment with Reagan and me out of D Doubles without even playing, the team that beat us on Friday won their final match today and went through to the knock out final stage. I left Andrew and Adeline with their Easter Eggs which I believe they liked. Erin got…

Steps 24,513 Saturday is the start of the doubles proper; it’s also a chance to lose a lot of money with the horseracing on after a break on Good Friday. It appears that Andrew and Adeline have been able to adjust to Reagan’s snoring from the next room. I didn’t have any problems at all.…
