Senior tennis players shine at annual Living Choice tournament

With COVID-19 restrictions forcing the cancellation of several QLD Seniors’ Tennis Tournaments this year, it was with a sigh of relief that players converged on the Sunshine Coast to take part in the annual Living Choice Mooloolaba Seniors’ Tournament held at several Sunshine Coast clubs from 16th to 18th July.
Organised by Club President, Warren Arnell, with fantastic support by the cheerful helpers in the kitchen, around 120 players competed for the 27 men’s, ladies and mixed events, ranging in age from 30+ to 70+. Apart from a strong contingent of local players, entrants came from the Gold Coast, Gladstone, Toowoomba, Brisbane, Gympie and Hervey Bay.
As the main sponsor, Living Choice took the opportunity to promote its three retirement resorts in QLD – Twin Waters and Kawana Island on the Sunshine Coast and Parkwood on the Gold Coast. There was keen interest to win the gourmet Living Choice hamper in the lucky draw – congratulations to the winner, Kerryn Cyprien of the Gold Coast!
