They take the helm of a club that is in ‘good order’ after a successful year.
The meeting heard that costs were contained, and so a commitment was made to install another set of lights over some of the lawn courts.
The outgoing president, Harley Moore, said the new executive members would lead the club in some different directions over the next two years.
Moore reported that the club had maintained a strong financial position due in no small way to the income the club generated from the 2025 Deni Ute Muster.
It was a record year in terms of attendance, which also resulted in record sales for the tennis club’s Smashing Souvlaki stand.
Moore went on to thank the members for their volunteer effort, their dedication and teamwork.
He said the club continues to benefit from a strong sense of community and a willingness among members to contribute.
He believes the achievements of the past year are the result of collective effort, and the club is well placed to continue building on this foundation.
The Deniliquin Junior Tennis Club, under the direction of Emily Leech and Eliza Eastman, reported a successful year after.
It began with a coaching session with Matt Hort from Tennis NSW, and more than 100 kids registered for the Saturday junior tennis.
There was a Section 1 competition and three coaching groups, highlighting that the club is able to cater for all ages and skill levels.
Eastman said the skills improvement was noticeable, as was the growth in confidence and sportsmanship.
Leech was quick to thank Jack McGrillen for his effort assisting with coaching throughout the year.
On behalf of the Deniliquin Croquet Club, president Leo Barry reported the year’s achievement.
John James, Brian Dudley and Terry Murphy were the respective Club Champions in Division 1, 2 and 3, and Doubles Champions were Brian Dudley and Andy Davis.
Peter Whittakers won the hard fought Challen Cup, while new player Gary Brose won the Badura Trophy.
