It is with great pleasure that we introduce our Women’s Premier League team for season 2016.

The season kicks off on Friday the 18th of November with a night match (start time 6.30pm) at Royal South Yarra Lawn Tennis Club. Our team, the reigning premiers, will have a tough start against last years finalists Liston. The five-match home and away season will continue the same weekend with a match up against Dingley TC on Sunday the 2oth.

A reminder that the club will be hosting a Super Round on Sunday December the 4th when all Men’s and Women’s matches will be at the club. Will give you more information as the date gets closer.

The match format is two doubles matches and four singles matches, thus 4 to 6 players generally play each match. Due to many of the players having tournament commitments, we have a large squad to choose from. These include the below;
