At the 2009 Tennis Challenge, The Carlisle Rotary Club Team (Castles/Cunningham) won the District Tennis Challenge by defeating the Lancaster Northeast Club Team (Spadea/Winters) 7-6 (7-4), 6-1. The doubles teams played the match on 24 September at the Allenberry courts. After the match a very enjoyable and tasty trophy-presentation dinner took place at Allenberry.
The 2010 Tournament will be held on Thursday, September 16 at the West Shore Country Club (raindate-Tuesday, September 21).
Registration Form
Printable Information Sheet
A team, should be two Rotarians; however, a member who is cultivating a prospective Rotarian may have that person as their playing partner. In all cases, one member of the team must be a Rotarian. A Club may sponsor multiple doubles teams. The teams may be men, women or mixed. All are welcomed for this fun and fellowship event.
Championship trophies are awarded after the dinner including the Paul Harris Tennis Challenge Trophy going to the winning team's club..
This is a combination of FUN, FELLOWSHIP, AND FUNDRAISING in that order.
Matches will begin at 2:30 p.m. and conclude by 5:30 p.m. Games will be a round robin doubles format. The number of games played against each team will be determined by the number of teams registered. The two teams with the best round robin record will play for the Championship Trophy. Two courts have been reserved for play. If more teams register, additional courts will be reserved.
The dinner will begin at 6:00 p.m. Whether we have it courtside or in the clubhouse remains to be determined as is the overall cost of the event per player. However, I do not anticipate it to be too much more than $50.00 per player, which should be covered by the sponsoring Rotary club. Entrants will be advised as soon as possible before the event of the actual registration cost.
