NTSC Masters of the Universe

The recent Newsletter of Tasmanian Masters Squash features a couple of our squash members Dave Pedley and Diana McHenry

They were two of three Northern participants in the Masters Squash event held in Devonport March 19-20th.

Dave was runner up in the Division 1 Event and Di was Runner up in the Division 5 Event

Save the date for an event being held at Theogenes in Launceston on the 20th-21st of August. we'd love to see lots of Newstead Players involved. Anybody 35 or over at the date of the tournament is eligible to participate.

Awesome efforts Dave and Di.

Vale Roger Smith and Don Keogh

It is with great sadness the Newstead Tennis and Squash Centre advises of the death of two of our Centre’s members.
Don Keogh and Roger Smith.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to their family and friends.

Don Keogh (NTSC Life Member)
Don passed away on 27/1/22 at the age of 95 years.
Not many of you will have known Don, but he served on the Committee in the 1960’s and early 1970’s and also acted as Club Manager in that time.
After a stint in Queensland, he once again volunteered his services as bar manager for about a year in the mid 1990’s, prior to Robbie Carrick’s appointment.
He was awarded a Life Membership for his services in 2001 and was a regular visitor to the club to catch up with mates over a beer.

Vale Don Keogh

KEOGH Donald Max 21/11/1926 – 27/1/2022
Beloved husband of Jean (dec.) & Eileen Loved father of Marilyn, Maxine and Rusk, and John. Grandfather to 11. Great Grandfather to 20. Great-great-grandfather to 4.
Youngest son of John and Elsie (Shipton), brother to Hilda Barrenger, Len Keogh, Dally, and Mae Kettle/Ling (all dec). Funeral notice to come.

Roger Smith (Current NTSC Committee Member)
Roger passed away last night after a 10 month battle with liver cancer.
Those that knew Roger admired his determination in his fight with the disease.
He had a passion for squash and always loved being included in our rosters even thought he was our oldest player.
His generosity in donating a perpetual trophy for the most improved squash player will be a permanent reminder of his love and passion for squash at the Centre. In September this year, despite his illness he put up his hand to join the NTSC Committee and to share with the other members his vast business and personal experience, something which was greatly appreciated during this short time.

We have lost two fine gentlemen.
