IMPORTANT NOTICE
Hi All
I hope everyone is well.
I just want to give everyone an update on return to play.
Most of you would be aware the government announced a couple of weeks back that 20 people could participate in stadiums.
Our stadium is council controlled and at the minute we are awaiting advice from the council on what their plan is moving forward. It’s more complicated in our situation as there are other users in the centre.
Stay patient , hopefully it won’t be long before we have some good news.
Just a quick question for when and if we get a competition restarted , are you right to continue playing?

A statement from the President (Mark Dorman)
“I am happy to announce that two former STTA players Dillon Chambers and Matt Avers combined at the 2020 Victorian Closed Senior & Para Championships at the weekend to win the Men’s Open Doubles at MSAC in Melbourne. Both players gained excellent results in 2019 and have started well this year.
Avers not only took gold in the Open doubles with Chambers, he defeated the number one seed to win the Under 21 singles. He also took gold in the Division 2 singles and Division 2 doubles as well as being runner up in the Mixed Open Doubles.
Chambers is in great form and he was runner up in the Men’s Open singles at the weekend. He is currently ranked number five in Australia and number two in Victoria which is an outstanding achievement.
Dorman indicated that” the STTA is proud of both players who are being rewarded for the hard work they have put in to gain these results. “

Ladder leaders Mallee Bearings suffer their first defeat of the season at the hands of Pinnacle Packers, who make it two in a row; after coming so close last week to a win, Weightmans Packaging slump in this round and are defeated soundly by Max Miller Carpets; and Mallee Meats take a fairly unspectacular win against MJM Automotive.
