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.
