Princes Hill Tennis Club
Huge congratulations to Zoe Bott for taking out the Princes Hill Club Championships for 2024! Zoe’s expert placement, nasty drop-shots and relentless tenacity will cement her place in history on the Club’s honour board.
Congratulations Zoe!
Princes Hill’s C Reserve Mixed doubles team has finished the season on top with a nail biting grand final win against Hillside!
The team fought back valiantly across the second and third sets after Hillside pulled ahead early to draw the overall game scores level.
The additional 12 point (first to 7) tiebreaker saw our team victorious with a brilliant 7-5 win in the tiebreak.
Congrats to our players Eamon Evans, Kylie Hunter, Scott Widmar, Angela Harbinson, Ben Harbinson, Ali Barker, Katharine Davies, Ben Strong, James Nelson and Natalie Storey for taking home the pennant, which will hang in our newly spruced up Clubhouse.
Princes Hill Tennis Club’s AGM will be held at the Clubhouse on Sunday 24 May, 11am. Please join us! We are also looking for energetic new committee members who would like to make a contribution to our tennis community.

We continue to facilitate a busy schedule of social competition at the club through the North Suburban Night Tennis Association and the North Suburban Junior Tennis Association.
The NSNTA’s Autumn social doubles competition teams play on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Our junior teams, through the NSJTA competition are building their skills and resilience as they tackle competition in some cases for the first time.
Registration for the NSNTA spring season will be due in early June 2024. Places will be available for ladies’ Tuesday night competition. Limited places may become available for our mixed or men’s teams, however these positions may be subject to wait lists. Please contact Nathan at nathanilya@gmail.com if you are interested in playing in ladies’ Tuesday night competition. Demand for spaces is high, in coming seasons we will be asking participants to contribute a small fee towards balls and lighting costs.
NSNTA home games are at PHTC. Away games are every second week and can be between 10 mins to 40 minutes drive depending on the grade. See the NSNTA website for details of clubs and locations.
