The Parent & Child Tournament is a popular event on the Karori United calendar. The entries have been steadily increasing over the years so that in 2010 the field had to be divided into beginner, intermediate and open competitions.
In 2010, a trophy was instituted for the winners of the open section of the annual Parent & Child Tournament. The trophy is called the Mary Walker Cup in memory of Mary Walker who passed away in 2008. Mary was involved throughout the Club and the Parent & Child Cup recognises her contribution to the Junior, Senior and Midweek clubs through her role as Club Captain. The Cup was kindly donated to the Club by Mary’s husband, Colin.
Our 2015/2016 Parent Child Tournament was held on Monday 8th Feb 2016. We had the usual large amount of interest, which resulted in some quality tennis to match the stunning day.
Special thanks to Wendy Thompson for organising the event and Sharon Warrior for organising the sausage sizzle.
Congratulations to all those who participated in the round robins and to this years winners and runners up.
We look forward to seeing you all out there next year!
