With `A' and `B' grade in the men's and three grades in the women's, an action packed day of tennis is assured.

Talented junior Blair Hart reached the pinnacle of Stawell tennis last year, being crowned the men's 'A' grade champion for the first time and despite a few players under injury clouds, this year faces a host of hungry challengers keen to displace him off his number one mantle.

Joel Freeland and a surprise inclusion in former local Adam Troeth, appear the major stumbling blocks to back-to-back victories for Hart in the club's feature event.

Jade Cross is the pre-eminent woman in the competition and is expected to win an unprecedented eighth club championship in the last nine years. It's hard to see anyone troubling Cross with consistent Jodie Hendy in doubt, however you would be loathe to count out Carol Hateley and Cross' younger sister Madi, who strikes the ball as powerfully as anyone in the club.

These two are the only serious dangers to Cross' name being etched on the silverware once again.

On his day Glenn Troeth can match wits with the elite in the competition, but it's that unpredictability of his game which sees him taking part in the `B' grade championships tomorrow.

While he is top seed, the title isn't his yet and a couple of fierce competitors in Richard Blakey and only just in his teens, Nick Seeary, will both be vying for their place in history.

Claire Kelly looks the top pick in the `B' grade women after a spectacular start to the season, although Maddi Jelly, the improved Nellie Driscoll and Tracey Dark are all legitimate contenders, while Sharon Trimble and Jenny Stevens can also lay claims.

The `C' grade is a wide open affair with a number of winning chances amongst them, the likes of Georgia Mussett, Meg Newton, Tessa Harrington and Jesse Horrocks are all realistic chances of success, while Renai McCormick, who has been in the system for a couple of years now, would not surprise to be holding the championship trophy aloft.

The action kicks off at 1.30pm with a barbecue supplied for tea and the presentations to be made at the conclusion of all finals.

The championships create a lot of interest in and outside the club, so it would be great to see a big crowd in attendance tomorrow.
