IMPORTANT NOTICE
Sadly I need to announce that in accordance with the rapid developments in the Covid-19 virus situation, the STTA committee has made the decision to suspend our Senior and Junior pennants effective immediately.
We will not be playing round 2 or 3 of the Senior Pennant and there was no play scheduled in the following two weeks which are the school holidays.
The situation will then be reassessed prior to round four which is after the school holiday break.
There will be no Junior grading over the next two Monday’s .
This decision has not been made lightly and is made to ensure the well being of our STTA members .
We appreciate your understanding at this difficult time and we will keep you posted.
Please stay safe.

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. “
