Junior novices at STC
TENNIS: The University of Moratuwa in collaboration with the
Department of Physical Education will organise the second annual junior
novices tennis tournament to be held from April 16 to 18 at S. Thomas
College courts, Mt. Lavinia. The matches will begin at 7.30 a.m. on all
three days.
Funding the coaching programme of the University tennis team is the
main objective of organising the tournament according to Niren Neydorff
one of the committee members. Last year we managed to successfully
launch this venture for the first time in the history of University of
Moratuwa and were able to boost the standards of nearly 200 promising
tennis players between ages of 7 to 13 years. The tournament will be
only a single competition for both boys and girls under the categories
of under-8, under-10, under-12 and under-14.
This event will no doubt bring about many new faces into Sri Lanka
tennis and hope that it would compel more enthusiasm towards the game,
added Niren.
Sri Lanka Tennis Association is supporting the University of Moratuwa
to make this event a success. Sampath Bank has come forward to sponsor
the tournament.
The winners will be presented trophies, gifts and certificates.
Entries will close on April 11 with the Organising Secretary, University
of Moratuwa. |
