Reabold Reporter – MAY 2012
Saturday Social
Our Saturday afternoon captains have been through a change and we sadly said goodbye to Aleisha
Broom and wish her well with her new job and hockey season. We gladly welcome Drew Thornton
who has taken over the position very well and is now part of the RTC family.
Star Members
I am very happy to inform you all that Sarah Campion and Jade Henke (both members of our
Women’s Div 2 and JSL teams) have been selected in the Pizzey Cup team.
I am sure you will congratulate them both when you see them next. This is a great achievement and
we at Reabold TC are very proud of them.
New Members
Please welcome all the new members to the club who have joined in the last 6 months.

thoroughly enjoyed the club and its facilities.
The first night of this term is Friday 4th May.

for much needed club upgrades.

Quiz Night
We had a fantastic night at the club on Friday Night with over 100 quiz night participants. Geoff
Stooke was an impressive Quiz master, with a great selection of questions, who kept the night
flowing with spot questions and numerous prizes to give away. This was another great fundraising
event, which raised approximately $4000 on the night.
Thanks Geoff and also, Tania Hayward for her organisation and hard work, Angela Kempkes for her
assistance, Tony Glass for bar assistance, Mike Hendriks for the PA system, Mark Casey for the linen
and especially Laura Casey for her brilliant effort in sourcing numerous prizes.
JUNIOR PENNANTS-GRAND FINALS
Congratulations must go to our 3 winning junior teams and 3 runners up junior teams for what was a
fantastic effort in the Grand Finals on Sunday the 18th March.
The three winning teams were:
Girls 16 Div 1 who defeated Dalkeith in convincing fashion after the singles 3-7-54 to 1-2-35. All girls
played their best tennis after a much closer semi-final the week before.
Boys 16 Div 2 who defeated Manning well scoring 4-8-57 to 0-2-41. They also finished after the
singles, and went through the season undefeated.
Boys 14 Div 9 who defeated North Beach in a very close contest 3-7-60 to 3-6-50. Louis Taylor lost in
three but the extra set gave them the edge.
(Match details can be found by looking at Results Vault)
The three teams who lost in the Grand final all put up a good fight.
Boys 16 Div 6 who lost to Onslow Park on sets.
Boys 12 Div 3 who also lost very narrowly to Corinthian.
Green Ball Div 3 who had a tough one against the top team Melville/Palmyra.
The other exciting news is that 4 of our juniors won Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards in their
division.
Orange ball: Calum Wong
Boys 14 (Div 9): Logan McAlpine
Boys 16 (Div 2): Valentin Wagner
Boys 16 (Div 6): Ryan Hayward
MIDWEEK PENNANTS-GRAND FINALS
Congratulations to Thursday Night Ladies Division 10 who won their Grand final 5-3.
Wednesday Ladies Division 4 lost their Grand final. It was disappointing for the ladies as they have 6
sets each and they lost on a count back off 3 games.
Wednesday Ladies Division 1 Grass court lost their semi-final 0-7.
Wednesday Ladies Division 4 Grass court lost their semi-final 1-7.
Wednesday Ladies Division 6 Open lost in their semi-final, this was a closely contented semi-final
with Reabold 5-52 losing to Melville Palmyra 7-55.
SATURDAY PENNANTS – GRAND FINALS
Well done to the 3 teams who made it to the Grand Finals, but unfortunately lost to the better
teams on the day.
Women’s Div 1(Marinela Antonic, Alicia Martin, Crista Santiago, Kristin Arthur and Angie Nathan):
Lost to Blue Gum.
Women’s Div 5 (Tess Inglis, Billie Court, Kerryn O’Brien and Tess Cohen): Lost to North Perth
Men’s Div 7 (Mark Engelbrecht, Lachlan Kennedy, Geoff Hodsdon and Andrew Jonklaas): Lost to
Corinthian Park.
Special mention must be made of Alicia Martin who won the MVP for Women’s Div 1.
Winter Pennants
This season Reabold has 14 teams playing Winter Pennants. TW has recorded an increase of 50
teams playing pennants this season over last year.
With our 8 plexicushion courts it certainly has transformed tennis at Reabold into an all year round
sport.
We wish the following teams well for the winter season.

Tennis West Industry Awards
Simon Harper from Total Tennis was a finalist for the Coaching Excellence MLC Hotshots Coach of
the Year 2011 – 2012.
The awards were given out at a function last Friday night at the South of Perth Yacht Club.
Congratulations Simon and all the team from Total Tennis and we are sure you will go one better
next year.
Mid-week Ladies
Tuesday Ladies Social Tennis is thriving with over 30 ladies playing regularly each week.
Tournaments were held to celebrate both St Valentine’s Day and Easter with 34 competitors in each.
The St Valentine’s Day tournament outright winner was Wendy Williamson and the Easter
tournament was won by Ann McElligott. Both events were followed by lunch, raffle and the
Captains Poem.
Our next big event is the Annual tournament which is being held in June with a Wimbledon theme –
let’s hope the rain holds off.

Club/ Garden Maintenance
We would like to thank and acknowledge the efforts of the following members who worked
tirelessly to clear the garden bank opposite Floreat Forum. Good job it looks great.
This is part of a long term plan to have more structured garden rather than the overgrown bits and
pieces that are there currently. If you drive past the native garden at the new State Basketball
Centre you will see the vision we are trying to create. We would also like the club and courts to be
seen by the traffic that passes the Forum every day and it is also planned to ultimately have a better
entrance statement from what was the original entrance into the club.

Reabold Board Member Geoff Stooke Appointed to the Board of ARU
We are very pleased to include the following media release from Rugby WA about our Board Member
Geoff Stooke.
Rugby WA has welcomed the appointment of former Rugby WA Chairman Geoff Stooke OAM CitWA
to the Board of the Australian Rugby Union.
Mr Stooke was nominated by Rugby WA and at today’s ARU Board Meeting and was elected
unopposed.
Mr Stooke served on the Western Australian Rugby Board for 25 years, 23 of those as Chairman,
before retiring in 2011. He was instrumental in the sustained growth of the game across senior and
junior ranks as well playing a lead role in securing a Super 14 licence and establishing the Emirates
Western Force.
“Geoff’s elevation to the board of the ARU is a fillip for Rugby throughout the Australia,” Rugby WA
CEO Vern Reid said.
“A lifelong and passionate Rugby man, Geoff has a strong sense of the issues and challenges facing
the code and we have no doubt he’ll make a significant contribution in his new appointment.”
Mr Stooke joins former Wallabies halfback George Gregan as new faces to the ARU Board.
Congratulations Geoff from all at Reabold

As the Friday night blockbusters are doing so well, the Saturday Junior Club has had very few
attendees. Therefore, there will be no Junior Club until Term 4.
Crèche
Friday mornings the crèche is busy with the children of the Total Tennis Mum’s Friday group. Angie
Harper is kept very busy with the little ones, and often is ably assisted by Kerryn O’Brien. The
recently installed air-conditioning makes it a very comfortable to place to keep the kids active.
Special thanks to Sue Matera who recently donated a number of fantastic toys to add to the crèche.
Club Tennis Attire
The club has chosen a new style tennis shirt for the club designed and manufactured in a new
lightweight fabric. If you wish to order the new style please see Martina Alessandro in the office or
call 042 113 7250.
Balls
If any members wish to purchase new Wilson Tennis Balls, they are available from Martina in the
office for $10 per can of 4. This will be an ongoing benefit to members.
Single Sticks
