A real taste of tennis WITH the Australian Open now in full swing, children in the Yarra Ranges can also get their taste of tennis with a clinic starting at the Upwey South Tennis Club. Locals Stuart and Diana Sutterby, who coach at Ferny Creek, Selby and Upwey South tennis clubs, are running the three-day clinic to give children of all ages and skill levels a go at the sport. “The three-day holiday clinic is a great introduction to the sport and acts as a taste tester for kids wishing to try tennis,” Mr Sutterby said. “Tennis is such a great game for life - it is fun, social and caters for all ages.” The clinic will run from Monday 20 January to Wednesday 22 January at the Upwey South Tennis Club, on Eloera Street. Beginner to intermediate players will be on court from 9am to 11.30am and intermediate to advanced players 11.30am to 2pm on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday will be an all-day tournament and barbecue. For more information, contact Stuart or Diana Sutterby on 9759 6475, 0412 106 416 or 0403 525 111.

THE much-anticipated match of the round in Decoite Shield between South Belgrave and Mount Gate did not disappoint as the Gators got the chocolates with four balls to spare at the Belgrave South Rec Reserve. Dismissed in the 35th over for 133, South paid the price of not batting their full allotment of overs. Mount Gate were well on top until they lost Bunting, Hardy and Bowden, leaving the door open at 5/103 until a rear guard action required three runs from the last over for a hard-fought win.

AFTER the Christmas rush, Emerald Golf Club kicked back into life last Saturday with a threeman Ambrose event. Some brash predictions before and after play were heard, but there were some downcast golfers sort of blaming their partners while trying to look like they were supportive of them. With all players home and accounted for, it was the triumvirate of Dave Aitken, Peter Stevens and Dave Jennings (10) who stood tall, triumphant and smug when their net score of 53 was too good for the rest. In second place were Peter Glasscock, Broc Reynolds and Ken Sumsion (10.66) who managed to be on 53.33. They were followed at a respectful distance by Andrew Cutting, Ben Balfour and Dennis Fuller (6.83) on 56.16. Leigh Morison, P. Clowes and Allan Ecclestone (8.66) were next with 56.33. The trio of ladies who won the day were Constance Whitlock, Shirley Krummenacher and Kendra Hill who left the rest of the field in their collective wake. Dennis Fuller was nearest the pin on the 4th, Graeme White the 13th. On Wednesday when the Overly Faded Golfers (OFG) were on centre stage, a stroke event broke out where the original nine holes on the course was played twice. The format suited Ken Hill(16) down to the ground and he won with a net 59 from Sepp Krummenacher (28) next on 62 followed by Dennis Fuller (14) and Peter Clowes (18) both on 63. Next Saturday members roll up for the first of the VGL Monthly medals and, as usual, wild claims of an easy win have been heard but ignored with appropriate derision. Broc Reynolds the 7th, Allan Ecclestone the 12th and captain Andrew Cutting pocketed the pro pin dollars on the 18th. 1113824-RMB3-14
