TENNIS – Point Lonsdale tennis coach Denis Day has been recognised for years of participation at all levels of the sport.
Tennis Victoria presented him with the Highly Commended Service Award.
He started playing the sport as a 14 year old in Swan Hill and went on to achieve success as an A-grade player in Bendigo, Ballarat and in tournaments elsewhere.
The former teacher has been a coach for the past 20 years, coaching his own daughter to state level ranks.
