The 2025 Metropolitan Championships will be held over the King’s Birthday long weekend: team events on Saturday June 7 and Sunday June 8; individual events will be played on Monday June 9.

Team matches are scheduled to be played at Croydon and Greater Dandenong TTA. Details regarding where particular grades will be playing and on which day (ie Saturday or Sunday) will be available at a later date.

More information here Metro Champs 2025

You must play in the teams event to be eligible for individual events. However, you can choose to only play the teams’ event.

If you wish to represent Coburg TTC at this tournament, please register here. Note that you will need to register (and pay) separately for any individual events on Monday June 9 that you intend to play in.

Teams for Saturday June 7 and Sunday June 8 will be selected by the CTTC pennant sub-committee.

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 Peart* (1 vs 8); Holman vs Watters* (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

* amended on April 22

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.

Blind auction! 

The club has two tables that are no longer required. If interested, you can submit a bid for one or both of these tables via this online form https://www.jotform.com/build/250901637249055 Photos of the two tables are included in the online form; if you’d like to have a look at the table/s prior to submitting a bid, they are located in Room 10 (next to the robot) at the club.
