ON Saturday, November 9, Gove Tennis Club took the time to recognise the key players who helped make the 2013 tennis season one of the most-successful in recent memory. Their annual presentation night was held at the Arnhem Club’s Bali Pavilion, where they wrapped up the tournament season with awards. It was also a way of congratulating the victors from the last tournament, the Tennis Gove Club Championships, which were held in September. There were plenty of winners on the night; a good mix of new talent and the consistent old guard retaining their strength. The photos below show just some of the many worthy winners of Gove Tennis’ 2013 tournament season.
