The Matakana Tennis Open returns on March 21-22 after a successful inaugural tournament last year, following a restoration project paid for by the community.
Last year saw 50 players from all over New Zealand turn up to play on the brand-new turf at Matakana Tennis Club.
Club president David O’Sullivan says half of the entrants came from outside the area, with some flying in for the occasion, so the club is getting a good reputation.
O’Sullivan says for the upcoming competition there will be divisions for all levels of playing ability.
“People will get to see good tennis with ranked players making up the top division.”
There will be cash prizes as well as giveaways from Matakana cinemas.
Registrations are open on the Matakana Tennis Club Facebook page until March 15 and the club is reminding people to reserve their place early.
This year the club is hosting members, players and partners for a barn party at the Hideaway HQ, once playing has concluded on Saturday.
“This time we wanted to make it an event people could turn up to for the weekend and enjoy with friends and family and have a party,” O’Sullivan says.
Base FM Radio DJ Dan Paine of Matakana will be in charge of tunes for the evening.
Tickets to the barn party are $40, which includes a meal and first drink.
The Matakana Open is sponsored by Sawmill Brewery, Bayleys in the North, Matakana Cinemas and Middleton Holland and Associates.
