ross sawatzky tournament - 29 january 2022
North Shore Country Club hosted the 2022 Sawatzky Cup, run by the Northern Districts Tennis Association. The tournament is named after former North Shore Country Club president and NDTA stalwart Ross Sawatzky, who sadly passed away aged just 48, almost a year to the day from ah hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a very rare disease. This event raised funds for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.
Also featured in Perth Now.
The Sawatzky Cup WILL return in 2023, bigger and better.
To all those who DIDN’T take part – I hope to see you at the 2023 event. Everyone who played had a blast. It was tough, competitive FUN tennis which is at the heart of the Sawatzky Cup.
For next year I am looking to substantially ramp up sponsorship and make the event cost-neutral to maximise our final donation tally so if YOU know of someone or a company/brand that would like to be involved, please email me at [email protected]

GREAT SCOTT!: Ever wondered why at ‘other’ tournaments the photos of players on court look – well, rubbish? That’s because you need a pro shooter to take great sports shots, especially tennis.
Scott Walsh from Scotty’s Media shoots State League and other top tournaments for Tennis West, so it was great to have him down in the morning on court capturing the action.
If YOUR club wants to engage Scotty on a professional basis, email him at

If you want an NON WATERMARKED image
please make a $20 donation per image via the Sawatzky Cup Perkins page and Scott will send you the ‘clean’ file.
These photos would look AWESOME framed on the wall
