As advised last week, we will be shortening the pennant season due to Council works at the club scheduled to start on May 9. Rather than moving straight to semis, we will have quarter-finals involving the top 8 teams as at the end of Round 11 as well as consolation finals for the remaining 7 teams.

Matches on Wednesday will be as follows:

• Kilderry vs Watters (1 vs 8); Holman vs Peart (2 vs 7); Liao vs Stirling (3 vs 6); Baulch vs Sibbison (4 vs 5)
• Consolation: Looper Fiasco vs Keane (10 vs 15); Sokolowski vs Nicholson (11 vs 14); French vs Bergemann (12 vs 13); Chew (9) move straight to semi-finals next week.

The club will be open as usual on Friday April 25:

• Keenagers in the morning
• 6.30-10.00pm: walk-in tournament and social hit

Club opening hours during the Easter break, Friday April 18 to Monday April 21, will be the same as usual, except for Good Friday April 18:

• the club will be open for Keenagers in the morning/early afternoon but will not be open in the evening.

Apart from that, we’re open as usual including Group Coaching on Saturday April 19 (11-1pm) and on Monday April 21 (10-12pm).

Enjoy your break.

Hello Tuesday Pennant Players,

A reminder that the 2025 Autumn season starts this week!

You can find the season’s fixtures here.

~Luke.

Our deepest condolences to Ray Myrteza and his family on the passing of his father, Ray Senior. Ray Senior was a fixture at our club for a number of years, back to when Ray Junior first came to Coburg as a young teenager. He was always there from the earliest days, whether watching Ray Junior play in his first pennant on Wednesdays, getting coaching from Craig Carter, or just having a hit. He was tremendously supportive of Ray Junior and would have been very proud as his son became one of Coburg’s very best. And I know, from my many conversations over the years with Ray Snr, that he was equally proud of his son’s academic achievements.

Vale Ray Myrteza Senior.

In line with current best practice, TTV has now introduced a double authentication system when paying all TTV/TTA fees. This has led to a change in the process by which Coburg TTC has managed such payments to this point. As of now, all TTV/TTA payments will be paid online via this link https://www.revolutionise.com.au/coburgttc/registration  There will be no change to the way CTTC fees (playing rights, membership subscription fee, Keenagers fees, pennant fees) are paid, ie at the club using credit/debit card or cash.

If you run into any difficulties processing your TTV/TTA fees, please contact admin@coburgtabletennis.club
