C Team Game Time Changes: There have been some changes to this Saturday’s game times. The 14Cs now play at 10:00am and 15Cs play at 11:00am.

This Saturday is the last round for this year. It will be a big day at Oxford Falls with all our A, B, C and F teams playing home games. If you can please come and support our teams. The season will continue next year with Round 7 games on Saturday 3rd February. This is the first Saturday back next year.

Thank you to all who have helped do the score benches this year, I much appreciate your efforts and I’m well aware it can be a difficult job at times. I would also like to thank all our coaches for their efforts. Some teams have not experienced the joy of victory so far but have battled on regardless and I do hope all our players have had some fun either at games or especially at training.

Excitement was in the air as the boys arrived for the last round of the season before the finals and play offs next week. With eight SPX teams playing in the first session it was bound to be a good one. Pius 17 and Pius 18 had an excellent game with superb rallies. Luka Komadina produced some excellent returns along with his doubles partner Aiden Saraceno but Tom Ryan and Michael Chan were the better team on the day and won all three sets. John Cantali and Alex Kurdoghlian were the quiet achievers on Court 2 outplaying Pius 24 in the singles but Jayden Chan and Toby Thornton-Bott proved to be the better team in the doubles.

Thank you to Lachlan Gauci and Ky Simpson for their help with umpiring in the first session before playing their own games in session two.

The rain held off and session two began. The Lahoud brothers in SPX 1 played an exciting doubles game, seizing the win with a tie-breaker. Thomas Fong (SPX 7) made some amazing returns in his singles match that some would not think possible.  All in all a great day for tennis for St Pius X College!

A reminder that this weekend all boys will be involved in either finals or play-offs, with the exception of those teams playing Barker who have now forfeited all games for this weekend. Please refer to the draw for games and venues. 

As this Friday is Founder’s Day, could you please let me know if your son is unavailable via email. Good luck to all boys!​
