On 15 and 16 April at Kooyong Tennis Club 16 teams from Regional Victoria and Metropolitan Melbourne came together to play in 4 groups of 4 team round robins.
We won our first match against Peninsula Orange 36-9 then Wimmera 36-11 and were 3 sets to 1 set up against Moorabbin & District when the heavens opened at approx. 3.30 pm and play was abandoned for the day.
At 7.00 am Sunday (with a dreadful forecast) play was abandoned without us having to leave home. We had a good little team with all parents tennis players. Our kids were very disappointed at the washout on Sunday. They were going to be too old (at 10) for Wayne Arthurs Cup next year!!!

"I enjoyed dropping in on Sunday to see so many happy children, parents and team managers.to have 16 teams involved was fabulous."
"Thank you to Adam Cossar President of Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club for presenting the winners and finalist medallions and cup. Yours and the Kooyong Foundation support is always gratefully received. To Cedric, John, Sophie and David, thank you also for your ongoing commitment to the Wayne Arthurs Cup."
"To the staff onsite, Lita, Geoff and Michael, your attention to detail is second to none, you make the event all about the participants which is fantastic."
Congratulations on your “Bronze” medal (as one of the parents suggested last weekend) - coming 3rd out of 16 teams. A great team effort on everyone’s part for fighting for every point. Well done Ana, Lulu, Noah & Arham.
Thank you also to the parents and grandparents for your support and to our court maintenance crew for bagging and watering the courts.

Waverley were also very privileged to win "The Jelly Bean Award" for having the most visits to the Sports Trainer. After a rain delay of approximately 2 hours we managed to have 3 members of our team attend the medical room either before their match or receive on-court treatment within 20 minutes of the start of play. The other team member sought attention later in the day. Talk about the walking wounded but we soldiered on to take out 3rd position of 16 teams.
