Gympie Silver triumphs in heat

The last Sunshine Coast Veterans fixtures for 2025 were held in extremely hot conditions on Sunday.

Gympie Silver played at Peregian and won 8 sets, 55 games to Peregian’s 4 sets, 25 games.

At Nambour, the home team was too good for Gympie Red, but the contest was much closer than the score indicates.

The score was Nambour 10 sets 69 games to Gympie’s 2 sets 56 games.

Gympie was able to secure only one out of seven tie-breaks, but long games and long rallies were the order of the day despite the heat.

Social tennis continues on Monday nights from 5.30pm, Thursday nights from 5.30pm and Saturday mornings from 6.30am.

Members and non-members are welcome with all standards of play catered for.

Membership is now half price – adults $55, family – $80, students – $12.50
