Toptenn Tennis Academy versus Victorian Tennis Academy .

The Show Down series is designed to showcase a cross-section of players from each Academy and provide them with invaluable match experience in a very social and interactive environment.

Show down 7 was an absolute "rip-snorter". Going in the head to head battle was tied at 3 wins all over the past 6 years.

Toptenn held the trophy after convincingly winning showdown 6 at Scotch College!

Despite strong performances from our higher levels, the Victorian Tennis Academy were too good on a perfect day at Scotch.

Note each participant receives a commemorative T-Shirt to mark the occassion!

Through an initiative of Simon Bythe on behalf of the Burwood Tennis Club, and Tennis Victoria, three schools- Wattle Park Primary, Hartwell Primary, and Ashburton Primary School- have participated in an annual Super-Challenge at the Burwood Tennis Club.

It has been a huge success with Hartwell and Ashburton sharing the honours and Wattle Park getting closer every year.

In 2005 the preliminary round was held on October 19 with the finals on Sunday October 23. Hartwell were victorious in a closely fought final.

Who will win in 2006. Come on Wattle Park!
