Filling court time
The Canterbury Tennis Association and the Indoor Tennis Centre on Ferry Road will be in direct competition to provide a bridging competition for players who are not involved in the Air New Zealand national inter-club tennis league this year. Senior players found the month lay-off last season left a gaping hole in the competition in which it was hard to remain motivated. The Canterbury association had a meeting with players in May and it was decided to hold a competition, possibly involving two men and two women in -each side. It might consider a three men and one women combination. “It will be mixed but there will not be mixed doubles,” said Tony Ralfe, the chairman of the competitions committee. Details for both organisations have not been finalised but both are going ahead with plans. The Indoor Tennis Centre is aiming to run a series of tournaments and will offer prizes.
The indoor centre is also organising a veterans’ competition and an under 17 tournament in October or November. It
will also hold the Fright Aubrey Canterbury Indoor tournament after the inter-districts’ event in late March.
