“ THE LAWN ”  |
Welcome to a bustling November with PLTC. After a energetic and productive October on & off court, and the election and Rugby behind us, we can now look ahead to a long hot summer and a fantastic array of end of year events. We have had a assortment of Junior wins and trophies. New dates for tournaments and Caro Bowl has started with a bang with a few wins under the PLTC belt. On a serious note, Defibrillators are devices that apply an electric charge or current to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat. If the heart rhythm stops due to cardiac arrest, also known as sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a defibrillator may help it start beating again. We have our own Defibrillator located in the club rooms on the wall at the managers Desk. https://aedlocations.co.nz is a handy website. Please download the APP as well. One day you may need one. |
History of Caro Bowl "The Caro Bowl is a rose bowl that was donated to the Auckland Tennis Association by the family of the late Maurice S. Caro who was killed in action at the First Battle of Somme in 1916. Maurice Caro was an all-round sportsman and an avid tennis player. The Caro Bowl was first held in 1919 and it is the top interclub trophy played for in the Tennis Auckland competition. It is the most prestigious grade of interclub in New Zealand and has historically attracted the best players in New Zealand. Until the mid-1990’s Caro Bowl matches were played on a Saturday afternoon and many will remember the days when Brian Fairlie, Chris Lewis and Russell Simpson turned out for their clubs to do battle on the grass courts at Stanley Street. It is fairly safe to say that every top Auckland player and many other fine players from around New Zealand have played in the Caro Bowl competition at some point in their tennis careers." |
