LTA CLUBMARK STATUS

Gavin Kelly reports:  We are the first club in the area to achieve Clubmark status and we shall be organising a presentation and photo opportunity soon. This is good publicity for the Club as it is recognition of the good organisation and structures of our club.

 

SHOW CONSIDERATION TO OUR NEIGHBOURS

Club members are reminded that several homes are adjacent to the tennis courts and are asked to show consideration to our neighbours at all times. There have been instances when this has not been the case.

 

STAMFORD CLUB TOURNAMENTS
Over the last couple of months numerous matches have been played and these culminated in the Ladies’ Finals being played on 26th September, where Emily John-Davis successfully defended her title as Ladies Champion by beating Lucy Watts 6-3, 6-1.  The Ladies’ Doubles Champions were once again Kim Pallister & Penny Cooper who also retained their title with a hard fought win over Emily John-Davis and Rachael Prentice.  Congratulations!
 
The Men’s Finals are taking place this Sunday (10th Oct), where our defending champion Dominic Higgs is playing a previous winner Nick Crowson.  The match will start at 12 noon for anyone interested in watching. It will then be followed by the Men’s Doubles where Nick Crowson and Martin Trawford are taking on first time finalists Shay Ginat and Warren Thomas.

PROBLEMS WITH BB GUNS. PARENTS PLEASE HELP
Some children have been playing with BB guns on court and the Club wishes this practice to stop.  They leave the “shot” all over the place and they are quite dangerous as they cause people to slip if there is a bunch of shot together.  On one social session recently three players fell over.

The shot will not brush up off the court, so they have to be picked up by hand.

We ask parents to ensure that this practice does not continue.

  

COACHING
The comprehensive coaching programme for adults and youngsters for the period from 1^st November to 11^th December is attached to this newsletter.

  

BOX LEAGUES

New this winter!

  

Singles and Doubles Box Leagues

  

Missing your match play now that we are coming into the winter season?

  

Looking for some ‘friendly’ competition through the winter?

  

Ready to start playing matches in a friendly environment?

  

Entries are open to ALL!

  

The format is very simple. Players will be put into small divisions of 4 players. A block runs for approximately 6 weeks and during that time players must arrange to play all the other players in their division. At the end of each block there will be promotion, relegation and swap-over, depending upon the results within that division. This should mean that players will not face the same opponents in two consecutive blocks. As with most club competitions, the more players who enter, the better the divisions will run. Please have a go!

  

Signup sheets for both the singles and the doubles can be found in the clubhouse or you can ring, text or email Carole Wilson on 07939 095713 or c.wilson4040@btinternet.com

  

If you can’t find a doubles partner please enter anyway, and I’ll try to find you a partner!

  

I’d like to get the first block running by the 1^st of November so please don’t delay, signup today!

  

Any questions please contact Carole, details as above.

STAMFORD TENNIS CLUB GOLF
The 5th STC Golf competition was played at Toft on 1^st October 2010.  Wet weather could not dampen the enthusiasm of the 13 members who took part in the event.

 Longest drive was hit by Richard Wilson.

 

The afternoon session of Texas scramble was won by the team of Maureen Paulson, Richard Wilson and John Baxter.

 

The R.R Trophy and prize money was won by Mike Pare who is in good form with a score of 34. He also won the prize for the shot nearest to the pin.

 

Mike Paulson was a close contender for the Trophy and finished in second place with a score of 32. Mark Pallister finished in third place with a score of 31.

 

Next year we are planning to play at Burghley Park Golf Course.  Sincere thanks to R 2 R Tennis for sponsoring the Prize money for the Winner. Special thanks also to Mike Paulson who organised the order of play and sorted out the Score Cards

  

TEAM REPORTS

We have had yet another very successful season. Significantly more promotion spots than relegations spots. Further reports will hopefully appear in future e-bulletins.

 

PETERBOROUGH & DISTRICT LEAGUE
It must be a record to have had three teams in the first division and two more in the second. It was a hard ask, and our C team will be relegated from division 1 and the D team probably from division 2. Our A team failed to win division 1 by just one point: Esporta A 141 – Stamford A 140.  Our B team was a comfortable fourth out of eight, also in division 1. Stamford E finished fourth in division 2 and Stamford D seventh. Our F team comfortably avoided promotion from division 4 to division 3 – we did not want to be promoted.

MENS A TEAM
Nick Crowson writes: With 12 wins from 14 matches we finished second (again) in the first division, one point behind Esporta who call on players from a wide area. I think we can lay claim to having the strongest local club team.  With a good showing from the B team once again we can certainly claim to have the largest pool of first division players of any club, which is surely, cause for celebration!! Our team remains unchanged from previous years so many thanks to my team as always for their commitment  -Justin Boughey, Ralph Clarke, Dominic Higgs, Mark Pallister, Kim Renwick, Alex Smith, Marc Sumner, and Martin Trawford.

Nostradamus prediction for 2011 – Second in league.

MEN’S E TEAM

The team started well and managed to bank points from the early matches under the leadership of Ian Moss. Ian was tempted to abandon the team with a job offer to good to refuse, so the team completed the matches with mixed fortunes but achieved the objectives of avoiding both relegation and the easier objective of avoiding promotion. Seventeen players in total were used through the season to fulfil the fixtures but once again particular thanks to the Owen contingent.

 

HUNTS & PETERBOROUGH LEAGUE

In the Men’s league our A team came fourth in division 1 and the B team won division 3. In the Ladies’ league our A team came fourth in division 1, our B team second in division 3, our C team eighth in the same division and our D team seventh in division 4. In the Mixed league our A team came third in division 1, our B team topped division 2 and our C team topped division 4.

 

MEN’S A TEAM
Another season of mixed success, the inevitable losses to Esporta and Huntingdon happened and much as there were some convincing wins against RAF Brampton, Needingworth and Buckden B.  This left us to battle it out with St Neots and Buckden A for 3rd, 4th or 5th and we ended up a satisfactory 4th following draws against both of them.

 

LADIES B TEAM

Captain:  Susie Archer,   Felicity & Isobel Chedd, Imogen Huxley, Stephanie Uszkurat, Helen Warner, Suzanne Whalley

Susie writes: We finished second in Division 3 with a respectable 16 points only one point behind Longthorpe A.  We won 5, drew one and lost one.  It was a great team effort and special thanks to our Ladies B team for playing so well.  Thanks also to Kim Pallister, Emily John-Davis and Rachel Prentice from our Ladies A team who stepped in when we were struggling with holiday commitments.  Looking forward to next season and playing in Divison 2!

  

LADIES C and D TEAMS

Maggie Knight writes: Both the ladies C and D teams have enjoyed an interesting and challenging season, with several ladies playing league tennis for the first time in the D team this year, under the captaincy of Helen Britton.

 

Thanks to C team: Eileen Pare, Maureen Paulson, Jayne Rolands, Viv Wilson, Nicola Clough, Carol Dilks and Clare Savage.

 

Thanks to D team: Helen Britton, Belinda Smith, Jeannie Dykes, Ruth Livingstone, Penny Waite, Sarah Babbs, Amanda Wheeler, Deborah Hewson, Sally Treanor, Jenny Bush and Jane Aldred. 

 

MIXED A TEAM
Sadly defeats to Deeping and Huntingdon meant winning the title wasn’t an option and we finished a very respectable 3rd in Division one. A special thank you goes to Gennaro and Rachael for playing almost every match.

MIXED C TEAM

After a shaky start the team rallied and went on to win all but one of the remaining matches with a draw against local rivals Ketton. This has resulted in the team finishing top of the league so gaining promotion to Division 3 next season. Particular thanks to Felicity, Susie and Susanne who anchored the teams and kept the “gentlemen” players in order.
HUNTS & PETERBOROUGH LEAGUE DON BRACE CUP
While we were knocked out in the first round by Huntingdon, we went on to win the Plate with a convincing win over City of Peterborough in the Final.  Thank you to everyone that played in the various rounds leading up to the Final.
   
PETERBOROUGH WINTER LEAGUE 2010/11
We have entered two teams to play in the Sunday morning Winter Leagues.
     The A team will play in Div 1, contacts: Mark Pallister or Shay Ginat
     The B team will play in Div 2. If you would like to captain this team please contact        Neville Burnett who will organise the team in the first instance.

LEAGUE POSITIONS

Peterborough League.

Fixtures, results and tables can be viewed on www.padtc.co.uk

The Club is doing well in this league. It currently has five teams in the top thirteen.

In Division 1 the A team, captained by Nick Crowson, is equal top on points with Esporta A, ahead

on rubbers, but has lost one match to Esporta.

Also in Division 1, the B team, led by Shay Ginat, is a comfortable fourth.

Propping up division 1 is the C team, captained by Kim Pallister, which has found the going tough..

Having said that, we think that this is the first time ever that one club has had three teams in the

Division 1.

In Division 2 the E team, led by Ian Moss, is in third position, and the D team, captained by Kevin

Tassel, is fifth. Each division has eight teams.

We have no team in Division 3, and our F team is fifth in Division 4.

Hunts & Peterborough League.

Fixtures, results & tables can be viewed on www.hptennis.org.uk

So far only the mixed league has been functioning. We have had a good season. The men’s and

ladies’ leagues commence in July.

In division 1 the Mixed A, captained by Mark Pallister, is third. The Mixed B, led by Warren Thomas,

has topped division 2 and will be promoted to division 1 next season. The Mixed C, captained by Neville

Burnett, leads division 4, and will be promoted to division 3 next year.

We would welcome reports from the various team captains for inclusion in future e-bulletins.

Our Under 14 boys did very well in the Lincolnshire Aegon competition.

Stamford Tennis Club’s Under 14 boys are runners up in the Lincolnshire County competition in the

Aegon Team Tennis series. Beating three Lincolnshire teams on their way to the final – Boston and

Grantham in the Round Robin Leagues and then Tennis Buddies from Woodall Spa in the semi final,

they faced Lincoln team Eastgate in the final.

The Final was played at Eastgate on May 29th 2010:

Despite constant drizzle, Edward Henley and William Bourne won their singles matches – Bourne

in straight sets and Henley battling out a tie break to keep Stamford in the frame. Felix Beech and

Oliver Huxley faced Eastgate’s number 1 and 2 players. They both fought tough matches but were

defeated.

At the end of the doubles rounds the teams were equal on points which forced a play-off. Beech and

Bourne fought to the bitter end with some winning shots, but they could not overpower Eastgate’s first

pair and narrowly lost by three points in a match tie break.

All four boys are coached by R2R Tennis. “The boys all put in great performances at each stage of this

competition.” said the club’s Performance Coach Ralph Clarke. “They faced some stiff competition in

the final and fought hard but were narrowly pipped at the post. But to get to this stage and take away

the runner-up title is a great achievement for Stamford Tennis Club.”

Team photo is attached, from the left: Edward, Will, Felix and Oliver. And the boys in the photo are,

from left to right, Edward Henley, Will Bourne, Felix Beech and Oliver Huxley.

Anyone for CRICKET?

 

We have arranged two “friendly” games against Barnack Cricket Club. First match will be on Friday

23rd July and the return game on Friday 20th August. Matches will start at approximately 6.15, kit

provided and Beer and Bar-B-Q will be available. If you would like to be “considered for selection”

please contact Ralph Ticehurst on Stamford 755412 who will be the chief and only selector (red wine

preferred!) Players and spectators welcome.

SANTA RUN

Recently Simon Rigby, Alisdair Orr and Alan Gray attended a presentation evening organised by the

Rotary Club of Stamford Burghley when Alan presented a cheque for £750 to Rutland Sailability. Ten of

us from Stamford Tennis Club ran/walked/staggered round Burghley Park in December and

sponsorship money raised by us came to over £1000. We gave £250 to Polio Plus and £750 to Rutland

Sailability.

We have since received a letter from Rutland Sailability thanking Stamford Tennis Club for our efforts

and the donation. They have also given us a framed picture of RS which Simon has located in the

Clubhouse.

 This is a popular informal occasion for Club members to meet socially, and follows the usual team practice sessions which start at 6 pm. A good opportunity for new members to meet other members.

Matches start in the last week of April, so members who would like to play league tennis are invited to Friday practices, starting in earnest on Friday 16th April. Drinks and nibbles will be available in the clubhouse on that evening to help ease players in!

We have six teams in the Peterborough League and nine in the Hunts & Peterborough League which starts a few weeks later, so there are match opportunities for a wide ability range. If you are new to the Club and want to be considered for one of the teams, just come along on Fridays. The sessions start about 6 pm.
