DECEMBER 2009

Dear Friends,
Results SNDTTA 2009 Spring Competition.
With 6 teams in this competition, 2 in ARes., 3 in B and 1 in C grade, it was our B team of captain Yinto Chu with help from Sonny Ching, Bruce Cheang and Chee Yow, that achieved the best result by making the grand final in ARes. Although they lost convincingly 1-5 from a fired up Hornsby RSL team, congratulations are well deserved. Our A team of  Rod Falck, Miguel Santos & Fred Wang did well too, but was unlucky and lost in the semi final from the same team with the same score.

In B grade, Suns C was leading the comp for most of the time but in the end missed out on the trophies after being overtaken by strong finishing teams from Ararat and Hornsby RSL. Our C, D & E teams finished 3rd, 4th and 5th  respectively, which was slightly disappointing. In C grade, Stephen & Jordan Aynsley and Patrick Li performed excellently by finishing just 1 point below the grand finalists. We hope everyone enjoyed the competition.
 
SNDTTA 2009 TOP 5 Challenge Winner.
Congratulations are due to Mark Robinson who won the 2009 C grade Top 5 Challenge undefeated. In B grade Chee Yow’s  performance was also excellent as he finished 2nd with 3 wins out of 4 matches.

SNDTTA District Championships Medal winners
Congratulations are also due to Miguel Santos who won the singles    title in the A Res. Division, whilst Theo Morsink won the B doubles with PCYC partner Masayuki Abe. Other Suns members, although not playing competition for our club who won gold medals were Morgan Ng (A grade), Wing Kwai Chan & Tommy Mak (Veterans doubles) Well Done everybody!!!

Results 2009 SUNS Club Championships.
The recently held 18th SUNS Club Championships again were a success and very much enjoyed by the participants and especially the pizza lunch break with food & drinks provided foc by the club was well received. Participation in the top divisions and Junior and C grades was excellent, but the B grade and Veterans entries were below last year. Congratulations are due to all the winners and runners up who all received trophies and a surprise present for their efforts. The results were as follows:
A Grade: Paul Pinkewhich won his 3rd title by beating Morgan Ng 3-0.
A Res: Erny Tsao beat Miguel Santos 3-0.
B Grade: Derek Morell won pool of 4 unbeaten. 2d was Jonas Urbonas.
