PORTLAND’S Lawn Tennis Club got itself a major boost this week, with the arrival of some brand-new equipment which is set to promote their junior tennis program into the future.

Club member Chris Thomas said the new tennis balls and racquets – which were purchased and supplied by Aaron Armistead of Preston Rowe Paterson Property Consultants – will help to encourage new and inexperienced kids to come down and have a go.
