The event raised more than $1500 for the Cancer Council. While adults enjoyed the morning tea and sausage sizzle, the kids had a great morning of Hotshots, squash and tennis.
Event organiser Keeli Royle thanked the many sponsors who donated tea, coffee and cakes, and prizes for the raffle, and the many volunteers who helped on the day. Donations are still being taken, online or by phoning Keeli on 0431 562 865.

Brothers Peter and Scott Gardiner from Merimbula have had a great tournament with Scott reaching the semi-finals of the 14 boys singles and Peter contesting the final of the 16 boys singles.
■ Tips from the Pros:
Training with a purpose is important. For adult social players, who often don't have much time to practice, try to incorporate a specific drill before your practice sets, such as working on your cross-court backhand.
