Saturday-Sunday June 15-16th 2024 - The Jura Cup
The 2024 Jura Cup was yet again a popular event that attracted a big entry for a mixed doubles tennis tourney. The competition was big on energy, tiebreaks and great atmosphere!
June Meyer very kindly provided prizes for the winners of the JURA Cup (so named after her and her late husband, Ralph, who loved his tennis!). Our thanks to June for providing and presenting the prizes and to friends/past members of the Club who came to watch.
The only downside was the power outage on Saturday afternoon just as the semi-finals were about to start. This meant our Tournament Director Dave Surette had to think quickly as we were plunged into darkness… at least we now know the emergency lighting works! Dave quickly arranged for play to continue at the Hackett Park outdoor courts (with Jazz concert alongside, much to the bemusement of our players!) and to resume play later that evening or on Sunday morning.
That said, this was a fun tournament for players and spectators whose cheers were a delight to everyone in the lounge and to players. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR WINNERS & PLAYERS and once again MANY thanks to Dave Surette, our Tournament Director!
