Home Hill Players Shine at Double Trouble Pickleball Tournament

On September 7th, Tennis Townsville hosted the "Double Trouble" pickleball tournament, drawing players from Cairns, Cardwell, the Burdekin, Mackay, and Townsville for a weekend of competitive action. Home Hill pickleball players, along with their Townsville family members, enjoyed challenging matches with high-quality play across the board.


Hannah Casswell and Ryan Schwab, seasoned tennis players but newcomers to pickleball, teamed up to win gold in the A-grade Mixed Doubles. Rylan Pivotto and his partner Nit secured bronze in the B-grade Mixed Doubles.


After the tournament, Kate headed to Western Suburbs Tennis Club, where she partnered with former Home Hill resident Sharon McDermott (Hanson) to claim victory in the Over-50s tennis finals.
