The start of the Arthur T. Berlingo Summer Challenge – a summer-long league sponsored by the Newtown Tennis Association – is less than two months away.

Match play will begin the week of June 9 and will conclude on Labor Day weekend. There will be nine divisions to choose from – Women’s Advanced Singles, Women’s Intermediate Singles, Men’s Advanced Singles, Men’s Intermediate Singles, Men’s 55 and Over Singles, Women’s Advanced Doubles, Women’s Intermediate Doubles, Men’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.

The incentive to play the maximum number of matches is to have a chance at a drawing for “dinner for two” at the Villa Restaurant in Sandy Hook. The people who play the most matches in each division will be able to have their names placed in the drawing.

To sign up, send an email to wendyfong@juno.com or call Wendy Fong at 426-3005. Deadline is Friday, May 23 and schedules will be mailed out on Monday, June 2.

It is up to the individual players to set up their own matches – best two out of three sets. Each player or team should bring new balls, with the winners taking the unopened cans.
