Albany Pickleball Club

The Tinder’s competed gallantly but were pipped at the post by a team of experienced ladies playing with their 19year old first timer lads. The Hot Kitchen Hands won a jar of pickles each for coming last in their division. All the team members won at least a game each which was an awesome effort. They did get the joint best dressed team with the Pickled Pirates who ironically they played for 11/12th spot in their division. Great time had by all.

Our wonderful team of Renee and Tania, Paul and Wayne are anxiously waiting on the sidelines to step on the court to play for their first gold medal. Stay tuned for the outcome.

Some of the action. The teams are having a great time with close matches and learning heaps. We shall see tomorrow brings.

Teams from Albany “the tinder’s” and “hot kitchen hands” all ready to do their best. Can they handle the heat. Updates coming thru the weekend. Format play to 21 rally scoring 1 ladies and 1 men’s doubles and then 2 mixed doubles.

Southern River Doubles Classic – 6th & 13th September 2026

This will be played at Mike Barnett Sports Complex, Dixon Road &, Louise St, Rockingham.

A bit of wet and windy weather is on the way for Sunday. 8 courts booked at ALAC 1 - 3pm. $6 cash pay at the courts.

What a beautiful outlook at Lawley which delivers a very dramatic backdrop for our game. 10 brave souls took to the Sunday weather challenge and enjoyed nearly 2 hours of great pickleball before the threatening skies delivered. We play on the dual marked courts as the dedicated courts are slippery when damp.
