=**INAUGURAL MPC MASTERS MIXED DOUBLES ANZAC DAY TENNIS TOURNAMENT 2015**=
 * The MPC were proud to recently host our first tennis tournament for an elite group of finely tuned and exquisitely attired athletes. The post lunch tournament opened with a thrilling, if not a little long winded, matchup pitting co-founders Tess and Howie against the might of Ophelia and Jack. The encounter set the standard for the day and in a riveting race to be first to 5, Ophelia and Jack took the first match 5-4. The preceding knockout matches were played to a renegotiated game number and the pace picked up. Next up came Robyn and Dick against Pretty and Piston with Robyn Meself and Dick Lotion taking the match. Special mention must be made of the hand embroidered MPC logo that Piston was sporting on his sports shirt and it is a credit to the fine needlework skills of his playing partner Pretty.**
 * Foxy and Heywood and Faye and Fercu were next and their match was rudely interrupted by a mild dose of torrential rain and destructive lightning. The foursome soldiered on and completed the match but I can't remember who won.**
 * Sandy and Rex then took on Dixie and Helmet with the Crack/Hymen partnership taking the points. This reporter then lost touch of proceedings and didn't really catch up till the team photos at the end. In controversial circumstances and fading light the final between the combinations of Sandy Crack/Rex Hymen and Robyn Meself/Dick Lotion was left unresolved. After a great days tennis and some poorly cooked pizzas the evening concluded with a patriotic game of two-up and a couple of cold shandies. Feast your eyes on the visual highlights of a splendid day.**
