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.

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
