After another outstanding Pennant season, Tennis Victoria is pleased to announce the winners of the 2016 Pennant Player of the Year.
Over 4000 players competed in the competition across all grades in Australia’s largest inter-club competition, and in many cases the winners competed against over 200 players within their grade for the honour.
“This award is a great way to recognise the outstanding season of a number of individual players,” said Tennis Victoria’s Competition Manager Jeff Downes.
“Across all grades of Pennant, there have been a number of outstanding individuals who have played consistently well all season and this is a great reward and fitting recognition for these players.”
Ramona Mataruga from Hepner Place Indoor and Matthew Hicks also from Hepner Place Indoor claimed the Women’s and Men’s Grade 1 Pennant Player of the Year award’s respectively.
The Geelong Lawn Men’s Masters 45+ Doubles team were crowned as the 2016 Kevin Howard Award winners as the best performing Men’s Masters 45+ Doubles team.
The 2016 Pennant Player of the Year Presentations will be held at the Tennis Victoria Premier League Finals Day on Sunday 11 December.
