In a display of skill and sportsmanship, Bob Morgan, a proud member of the Kiama Tennis Club, represented New South Wales in the recent Australian Teams Championships held in Hobart. 

The week-long carnival, which concluded last week, saw tennis enthusiasts from various states come together to compete at the highest level.

Bob Morgan's journey in the Australian Teams Championships adds another chapter to his illustrious tennis career. In 2023, he won the Australian Oceania 80 Men’s Doubles title alongside his partner Herbie Chee from Mollymook. The chemistry between the two players was evident, and their success speaks volumes about their dedication to the sport.

During the recent championships, Bob Morgan played a pivotal role in the NSW 1 team's performance. The team, consisting of eight talented players from various locations across NSW, particularly Sydney, showcased exceptional teamwork throughout the tournament. Bob teamed up with Dennis Bindon and Alan Walsh, the team captain, forming a formidable No. 1 pair in most matches. Other contributing players included John Whittacker and John Davis, with Mick Bruton, the former Tennis Seniors NSW President, serving as the non-playing captain.

From the outset, NSW 1 demonstrated their authority in the competition, securing a convincing victory against the ACT in their opening match, winning 7 sets to one. Despite facing challenges from teams representing other states, the NSW 1 team remained undefeated, losing only two sets throughout the entire week-long event.

The competition featured representation from all states except South Australia and Western Australia. NSW, fielding two teams, showcased their tennis prowess with solid wins against Tasmania, Western Australia, NSW 2, and the ACT. Bob Morgan's No. 1 team emerged victorious in the 80 Men’s Open Division, securing a memorable triumph for NSW in the tournament.

David Graham, representing the Kiama Tennis Club, congratulates Bob Morgan on his outstanding performance and contribution to the success of the NSW 1 team. The Kiama Tennis Club takes pride in having such dedicated and skilled players as part of its community.
