Sport/TennisBar Takes Tennis TrophyHat TrickFOR the first time ever in the 39 yearhistory of the competition betweenthe Bench & Bar against the LawInstitute for the O’Driscoll Cup, namedafter the late Judge J.X. O’Driscoll, theBench & Bar team has succeeded in winningthe Cup for three consecutive years.In earlier times it was a struggle for the B& B team to just win the occasional match,as testified by the string of LIV successesengraved on the trophy.This new streak of competitivenessquite coincidentally coincides with themigration of Patrick Montgomery fromthe LIV ranks to those of the Bar. Whereasthe previous B & B strategy was to choosebunnies to blunt the LIV’s strong “A” sectionattack, and concentrate our forceson the Institute’s rather longish “tail” inthe “B” section, we now can put forwardgenuine firepower to match and blunt theInstitute’s premier shock troops, whilestill maintaining a concentrated attack onits rather longish “tail”.Thus Patrick and his new (in thiscompetition at least) partner, MichaelO’Bryan, won two of their sets againstthe Institute’s stars, lowering their coloursonly to the perennial Institute sharpshooters,Peter Mayberry and Mark da Silva.Even there, our stars managed to breakMayberry’s serve, “the first time this hadbeen done since 1978” as our man confidentlyasserted in his post-match pressconference. As usual, we have includedthe compulsory photograph of our manin action, so he can satisfy his family thathis career at the Bar is indeed progressingin stellar fashion. Autographed enlargementsare available from the editors forhis many fans.Michael O’Bryan made a very worthydebut, lending valuable support to Patrick.We hope to see more of Michael in futurematches. Also strong in an even “A” contingentwere John Simpson and JonathonRedwood, while Tom Danos and HowardMason were valiant contributors to theBar’s cause against tough competition.The stars of the day, however, wereTed Fennessey and John Goetz. ThoughTed’s hairs grow a little greyer each year,Chris Thomson accepting the O’Driscoll trophy on behalf of the Bar, flanked byPat Montgomery, Peter Boyle (LIV) (both standing), John Simpson, John Goetzand Jake Fronistas.Simon Tisher.his guile and tenacity are not in the leastdiminished. This year he was ably backedup by John Goetz, and the dynamic duowon all four of their sets in “B” sectionwhich led to their selection as the winnersHoward Mason.of the second perpetual trophy awardedat these events, the Flatman–Smith trophyfor the best-performed pair. Thisis the fourth year of this prize, struckto commemorate the passing in close74
succession of two sadly missed stalwartsof the competition, their Honours JusticeGeoff Flatman and Judge Tony Smith.Mention should also be made of otherstout defenders of the Bar’s reputation, allof whom won at least one set and so madea material contribution to our win: RichardSmith, exhibiting his new silken outfit,and prevailing despite the hindrance ofhis partner, this very unworthy scribe;Christine Boyle, making her maiden andvery much appreciated appearance; JakeFronistas, a man with history at this event;and the very capable duo of Ben Lindnerand Simon Tisher.The event was, as always, a most enjoyableoccasion, naturally rendered thatmuch more exciting by our remarkabletriumphs. Peter Mayberry, LIV captain,was, as always, extremely gracious inhis remarks in handing over the trophy.Kooyong provided its usual marvellousbackdrop, with fine weather and grasscourts in excellent condition, as well as afine environment on the terrace to enjoypost-match conviviality.Thanks to Danos and Smith for againassisting with team recruitment and selection,and to the editors of this august productionfor supplying the photographer torecord for you, dear readers, as well as forposterity, a visual record of this momentousoccasion.Chris ThomsonTed Fennessey.John Simpson.Price and Gaylard (LIV).Peter Mayberry (captain,LIV).“T C” Teoh (LIV) Will Mulholland (LIV)Lucinda Murdoch (LIV).Chris Thomson incustomary pose (pity hisresults don’t always matchthe effort!)Bar team.Christine Boyle, Jon Redwood, Jake Fronistas, Howard Mason, RichardSmith, Tom Danos, John Goetz, John Simpson, Chris Thomson, Pat Montgomery,Michael O’Bryan.Ted Fennessey and John Goetz,winners of the Flatman-Smith trophyfor the best-performed pair.75
