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.
Congratulations to all of our junior teams for their stellar efforts in the Northern Suburbs Junior Tennis Association competition this season.
Our C Special 1 Unisex team came runner up in their Grand Final this morning in the NSJTA comp! The final was washed out last week, they returned this week to play with the close contest only decided by 4 games!
Super effort by all.

Our three Princes Hill junior competition teams battle it out with a mixture of singles and doubles play on Saturday mornings. Junior competition is a fantastic way for emerging players to challenge themselves on the court, and build resilience as they navigate their wins and losses with their team-mates.
