Help us, in the forty days of Lent, To remember what you suffered for us, Because you wanted to save us, Help us, in the forty days of Lent, To go without some of the nice thing we often have, To be kind and helpful to others, To make our home a happy place.

The event was held at the Clifton Hill Tennis Club. Nine boys and 10 girls participated in separate events. The boys' competition was a Round-Robin, giving each boy the opportunity to play against each of the other boys. The format of a match was 2 games, with no deuce, which put lots of pressure on players, living little room for error (and come backs). Brian played well and focused, and won all of his matches, without dropping a game. Brian came first overall, with 16 points, and together with the second placed boy, qualified for the Division Tennis Competition to be held at Banyule Tennis Club on Friday 26th of February.
