Tennis

The 2005 season began with two exciting developments. Negotiations were completed for Trinity to use the facilities of the WA State Tennis Centre both for playing matches and training. Having this great facility as our home ground and its location so close to Trinity have proven to be extremely valuable, especially as it cut down the travelling time for training allowing more time to be spent hitting tennis balls. Also, for the first time, Trinity has a playing shirt for the 1st VIII players. This has become part of the incentive and reward for making the 1st VIII team. Our Captain this year, Chris Sabatini, provided the design of the shirt. While the win loss ratio of the 1st VIII team did not change from last year, with two wins recorded, there is no doubt that the team was clearly more competitive this year against all other teams. There was a very healthy competitive edge within the team for places ensuring that no players could take their position in the team for granted. Players such as Alex Massey and Marcin Kiszko, who were not regulars in the top team, trained hard consistently and eventually were rewarded with appearances in the 1st VIII team. I was very impressed with the general training intensity and the desire to continually strive to do better. The fitness and strength of team members improved substantially this year and I am sure our current group of players, half of whom are only Year 9 and Year 10 students, will be a force in the competition in years to come.

This season it was clear that tennis at Trinity was improving in all grades at all year levels. The general trend in results showed more wins than losses. There is more interest being generated in tennis and part of this success must go to our professional tennis coach, Ian Walker, and the positive enthusiasm shown by the teaching staff working with all our teams. My thanks go to Ms Gordon, Mrs Lane, Miss Neasham, Mrs Savy-Walsh, Ms Mizen, Mr Malarkey, Mr Rousset, Ms Passetti, Mr Kosovich, Mrs Prior and Mrs Zwart. I want to thank all the parents who took the time to support our teams and also the parents who prepared morning tea, especially Mrs Patsy Colan. Awards were presented to players from the senior teams.
