With apologies to The Buggles :)

Well no-one (yet) has asked me to come on camera to chat all things Sawatzky Cup but the team at Court Talk on 91.3FM did and it was awesome to have a fair bit of airtime! Thanks Darren and Brett Patten at Court Talk.

You can hear the interview here:  https://www.facebook.com/reel/...

MANY THANKS to one of WA's top sports journalists, Glen Quartermain, for the great profile of Rare Voices Australia ambassador Ryan Zilioli -- and his role at the 2026 Sawatzky Cup -- in the Sunday Times.  

Quarters has summed up the challenges Ryan faced - and faces -- and it's great to see the tournament and Rare Voices Australia get coverage in the mainstream media!

The official Sawatzky Cup/Rare Voices Australia fundraising page is now LIVE and already we are heading towards hitting the $2000 mark.

The QR code will take you directly to the page and all donations (within Australia) of $2 or more are tax deductible and you will be emailed an official tax receipt.

Last year the tournament raised the equivalent of 10 per cent of Rare Voices Australia's annual marketing budget, which meant the equivalent funds could be redirected towards more of their great work in the rare disease/illness sector right around Australia.

You can also access the page via https://donate.rarevoices.org.au/2026sawatzkycup/

THESE brand new 2025 SIGNED jerseys from Perth Glory, the Western Force and the Wallabies are now up for auction online.

All proceeds from the winning bids will be donated to Rare Voices Australia on behalf of the Sawatzky Cup.

The auction will run until December 16; these will make GREAT Christmas presents for the soccer or rugby (or just sports) fan in your life and the perfect "man cave" display.

All jerseys are brand new, unframed and tagged.

Massive thanks to Perth Glory, Rugby Australia and the Western Force and to Todd's Auctions and Interbid for setting up the online display and auction.

To make a bid go to: https://www.interbid.com.au/to...

We had a great turnout for a special screening, at Perth's beautiful Art Deco Como Theatre, of the 1987 classic The Princess Bride!. 

Many thanks to new tournament partners The Revival House for putting on the film and to all those who bought tickets via a special Sawatzky Cup link. 

Getting the Rare Voices Australia and Sawatzky Cup logos on the big screen was very cool indeed and it was a privilege to explain to patrons why the Sawatzky Cup got off the ground and why we direct funds raised to Rare Voices Australia. 

SPECIAL THANKS TO Sawatzky Cup sponsors and partners Tennis Excellence, Kleenaz Window & Pressure Cleaning and Oscar's In The Valley -- all of whom provided lucky seat prizes worth hundreds of dollars!

Every Sawatzky Cup competitor LOVES our tournament balls...and thanks to Snauwaert Australia, the All-Court ball will be back for the sixth edition of the tournament. EVERY match will use new Snauwaert balls; tins of 4 balls  (used for just 11 games on grass) will then be available after the tournament to buy, with proceeds going to our fundraising for Rare Voices Australia. 

If YOU or YOUR CLUB wants to check out Snauwaert, contact Scott Gregson on  0414 554 612

THANKS AGAIN to Scott and Snauwaert and also a special thank you to JET COURIERS for expediting delivery of 40 cartons from Sydney to Perth!

The Sawatzky Cup involves a lot of tennis - and for the organiser, running around from a VERY early start. So it's great to have the team from Ace Health & Performance on site to look after our players (and the organiser!). Thanks to Alex, Louise and the team at Ace Health & Performance!

https://acehp.com.au/

The Sawatzky Cup welcomes Aguia Studio, Perth's premium professional drone and vision operators, to the sixth edition of the tournament! Along with fantastic on-the-ground images of the day taken by our official photographer Scotty's Media, the aim is to produce a corporate-quality "mini movie" of the day.

And if YOUR company/brand/business needs to get some superb drone work, contact Ana at Aguia Studio! 

Thanks again Aguia Studio and we look forward to seeing you in action on tournament day, Saturday January 10 2026!

Welcome back MaxiBlock as the Official Sunscreen of the Sawatzky Cup and for the sixth edition of the tournament MaxiBlock will be substantially upgrading its partnership with the event!

So a massive thank you to Thibaut Mortier and the team at MaxiBlock.

Having top quality sunscreen for tennis in summer (or any time outdoors really) is a no-brainer and ALL entrants will receive a MaxiBlock-sponsored "goody bag" with suncreen and more!

https://www.maxiblock.com.au/

Thanks to Sarah and the team at Rare Voices Australia for getting our official 2026 Sawatzky Cup Grasscourt Classic/Rare Voices Australia fundraising page LIVE.

Having this up well before the tournament not only greatly increases exposure for the cause, hopefully the greater lead-in will boost donations significantly.

There are also several pre-tournament fundraising events in the works, the first the movie night at The Revival House in a few weeks' time. Having the fundraising page live means contributions from this night can be forwarded on quickly!

Donations can be made at the link below; all donations of $2 or more are tax deductible in Australia.

https://donate.rarevoices.org....

Fantastic to report that Sawatzky Cup VI will have a record 20 men's teams!

This is the third year in a row of growth, proof that the Sawatzky Cup's unique format is a winner with tennis lovers from throughout the Perth metro region and beyond. 

THANK YOU  to players from: Alexander Park Tennis Club; Higgins Park Tennis Club; Floreat Park Tennis Club; Sorrento Tennis Club; Dunsborough Country Club; Peppermint Grove Tennis Club; North Shore Community Hub; Mt Lawley Tennis Club; Ocean Ridge Tennis Club and Royal Kings Park Tennis Club who have entered teams!

Thanks to Rugby Australia, a BRAND-NEW SIGNED 2025 WALLABIES jersey will -- along with some other great signed jerseys -- soon be going up for auction; successful winning bids for all jerseys will be donated to the Sawatzky Cup fundraising for Rare Voices Australia.

Thanks to Marty Cambridge, Rugby Australia and the Wallabies!

Stay tuned for more details soon!

WELCOME to Go Image as an official partner for the Sawatzky Cup 2026 Grasscourt Classic.
Go Image is a Wangara, Perth,based signage/printing/design company and has been my go-to for signage referrals for the tournament.
Go Image will be producing some nifty net signs that will really enhance the look of our amazing courts on T-day!
Thanks Amit and the team at Go Image!

Welcome back AVISO WA as a valuable Sawatzky Cup contributor!

AVISO WA is your go-to broker in Perth for all your insurance needs,

Thanks Justin and all the team at AVISO WA!

https://avisowa.com.au/

WELCOME back YONEX Australia as a major sponsor for the Sawatzky Cup!

It's great to have one of the world's biggest tennis brands on board and they will be providing some nice kit for our prize winners!

Thanks Athan and the team at YONEX Australia!

Sawatzky Cup competitors rave about our tournament ball, generously provided by Snauwaert Australia..so we really appreciate the return of Snauwaert for Sawatzky Cup VI!

The ball keeps its shape/mass and felt, even after many hard-hitting games.

And of course our Sawatzky Cup entrants are very lucky in that EVERY round uses NEW balls!

Thanks to Scott Gregson and Snauwaert Australia!

https://www.snauwaert.com.au/

Tennis on a hot day is thirsty work...and I'm not sure there's anything better than an ice-cold Shelter after a blast on the court.

And I know the majority of the 110 competitors at Sawatzky Cup 2025 thought so too, so it is great to announce Shelter Brewing Company is BACK as our Official Beer.

It's also great to support a South West WA product and Shelter were quick to say 'yes' as a sponsor where rivals didn't even return my calls.

So THANK YOU Tom and the team at Shelter!

https://shelterbrewing.com.au/

 Absolutely thrilled to confirm Arc Infrastructure's return as a MAJOR sponsor for the Sawatzky Cup.

Says Arc: "Arc Infrastructure partners with community organisations to make a real difference and achieve meaningful outcomes in Western Australia where we live and work."

So I am very happy Arc Infrastructure sees the value, in the community of the Sawatzky Cup!

And the Sawatzky Cup IS making a REAL difference to the work of our target charity, Rare Voices Australia - we raised the equivalent of 10pc of RVA's annual marketing budget which means, of course, they can allocate funds to other areas in rare disease support and education.

THANK YOU once again Arc Infrastructure!

https://www.arcinfra.com/

If a picture is worth 1000 words,well here's 4000 words - all of which sum up the EXCELLENT work that Scotty Walsh does as Official Sawatzky Cup photographer.

Having PRO QUALITY images is a major difference between what I do and pretty much all other club-based tournaments; their images are usually of unusable quality and don't reflect either the quality of the tennis nor the vibe of the day.

Scotty's work enables me to promote the Sawatzky Cup through the media and also to provide our amazing sponsors with CORPORATE QUALITY imagery they can then use to promote their involvement.

Thanks again Scotty and WELCOME BACK for Sawatzky Cup VI!

And if YOUR business/brand/club wants to get some top quality images, contact Scotty Walsh

https://racquetshop.com.au/

Fantastic to have Perth sports retailer/uniform/merchandiser Slater-Gartrell Sports BACK as Official Uniform Supplier for the Sawatzky Cup! 

Our tournament shirts ZIP with colour, as you can see from this image from the 2025 tournament, displaying sponsors' logos AND the amazing Rare Voices Australia logo (did you know the 'birds' on that logo are actually fingerprints, each unique to a specific genetic disease?) 
A big portion of sponsors' donations goes to make sure EVERY Sawatzky Cup entrant has some 'merch' that they can wear/use well beyond T-day,and this gives the event, our sponsors and Rare Voices Australia maximum exposure during the year!

A great big THANKS to Graeme Clayton and the team at Slater-Gartrell!

I'm thrilled to announce The Revival House Perth as the first of our NEW partners for the Sawatzky Cup 2026 Grasscourt Classic tournament.

SPORTS SHIRT AUCTION RETURNS FOR 2026 SAWATZKY CUP!

THANKS to the Perth Wildcats, Western Force and Rugby Australia for committing to once again provide signed, authenticated 2025 jerseys to go into our Sawatzky Cup sports shirts auction!

All proceeds will be donated to the Sawatzky Cup 2026 appeal for Rare Voices Australia!

I'm also chasing additional shirts and sports memorabilia to go into the auction, which hopefully will be up and running well before Christmas in case bidders want to donate their jerseys as presents.

THANK YOU once again to all at Perth Wildcats, the Western Force and Rugby Australia for your generosity!

Big shout out to one of the Sawatzky Cup’s fantastic sponsors, Tennis Excellence, who have just “smashed it out of the park” with a brand/logo revamp, that’s bold and distinctive! Great work Dan Sewell and team and looking forward to having you back for Sawatzky Cup 2026! https://www.tennisexcellence.c...

OUR final fundraising tally to Rare Voices Australia, on behalf of the Sawatzky Cup, is officially $7760!

However the total overall is past $8000 as some donations went directly to Rare Voices Australia rather than through the Sawatzky Cup link.

A massive THANK YOU to all who contributed - players, sponsors, spectators, the board and staff at Alexander Park Tennis Club, staff at Rare Voices Australia and all those - wherever you are - who made donations.

Enormous gratitude too to the Perth Glory, Rugby Australia, Athletics West, the Western Force and Perth Wildcats for donating jerseys which were auctioned off, proceeds going to RVA.

Hopefully I can announce SOON some exciting developments for the Sawatzky Cup and its fundraising efforts for Rare Voices Australia - right across Australia.

See you all in 2026!

Norman Burns
Tournament Director Sawatzky Cup Grasscourt Classic, presented by Zarraffa's Coffee Currambine.

I'm posting this with just a few hours before the fifth annual Sawatzky Cup kicks into gear -- shame the bloke on the right doesn't play any more but I hope ALL competitors can channel their inner Federer on the day and:

* Try your best, regardless of the result
* Show great sportsman/womanship on the court
* Have FUN
* Support our on-site coffee van, our canteen (Club Social) our free afternoon sausage sizzle, buy up big on the raffles (prizes totalling thousands of dollars), support the Alexander Park Tennis Club bar and
* Do YOUR club and team proud!

WELL done to the successful bidder for the signed cricket bat and ball and GREAT WORK by Sawatzky Cup platinum sponsor Paul Snell (Zarraffas Coffee Currambine) to get rising star Cooper Connolly to sign 'em.

The bat and ball have raised hundreds of dollars for the Sawatzky Cup donation fund to Rare Voices Australia.

And this is what I wrote the other week: 

"Cooper is starring for the Scorchers in the Big Bash and I have no doubt he will one day don the Green and Gold for Australia in cricket! "

And so it has proved, as Cooper was this morning  named in the Australian Test team for the first time, to take on Sri Lanka! And that would be every cricketer's dream in Australia.

Thanks again Paul and best of luck to Cooper in the sub-continent!

JUST 24 hours until the fifth edition of the Sawatzky Cup, proudly presented by Zarraffa's Coffee Currambine and raising funds and awareness for Rare Voices Australia!

With a field of more than 100 and a forecast of 28-30C tops it is shaping as a great day!

THANKS once again to all our amazing sponsors, without whom the Sawatzky Cup would not be possible!

Sponsors' signage is now  up on the tournament courts, including Alexander Park Tennis Club's magnificent showcourts.

The official Sawatzky Cup/Rare Voices Australia donation page is now LIVE. We've already passed the $3000 mark - thanks to all who have contributed. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible. To make a donation, go to https://donate.rarevoices.org....

Just TWO  and a bit weeks to go until Sawatzky Cup V, and the amazing grass courts of Alexander Park Tennis Club are coming up beautifully.

Thanks to the APTC board, staff and members for being a part of the Sawatzky Cup family.

For more on Alexander Park, go to https://www.alexanderpark.com....

ONE of the fun things being a website adminstrator is getting to see who is looking at your page - and where from. And since I launched the Official Sawatzky Cup website only a couple of weeks ago, the "hits" have been coming thick and fast - from all over the place! Great exposure for the tournament, our sponsors and most importantly Rare Voices Australia!
So thank you netizens from the United States, Australia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, New Zealand (yay!), Germany, India, Austria and Hong Kong! 

In early 2020, the Perth, Western Australia family and tennis mates of Ross Sawatzky suffered a brutal blow when the 48-year-old father of two died from an extremely rare autoimmune condition, HLH.

With the Sawatzky family's backing, Rossco's tennis mate Norman Burns launched a tennis day at North Shore Country Club, where Ross, a tennis and sports fanatic,  had been a former president.

The first tournament, held on a scorching day in 2021 attracted just under 40 entrants and had the backing of one local sponsor, PM Piping, and with  Snauwaert Australia supplying the balls.

With no HLH-specific organisation in Perth (or even Australia), funds raised were directed to the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

The tennis was great but a snap State Government COVID lockdown at 6PM meant a sudden curtailing of post-tennis festivities!

Luckily by tournament #2 COVID lockdowns were becoming a thing of the past; the Sawatzky Cup was growing too, with a field of about 60 men and women.

Now more sponsors were coming on board, chief of these Paul Snell's Complete Commercial Projects.

By Sawatzky Cup #3 though such was the interest more courts were needed; thus the event moved to the grasscourts at Alexander Park Tennis Club.

Now the field was 80 strong, with a dozen sponsors on board - and our target charity shifted to Rare Voices Australia the peak body helping more than two million Aussies (young and old) facing rare illness and disease - like HLH which proved fatal to Rossco.

The Sawatzky Cup's aim is to generate not just funds for Rare Voices Australia, but to bring the great work it does nationally to wider attention.

And every year we raise a glass (of Shelter beer or  Swings & Roundabouts wine) to a great dad and good mate gone but not forgotten.

The official 2025 Sawatzky Cup/Rare Voices Australia donation page is now LIVE. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.

 https://donate.rarevoices.org....

Much appreciation to highly respected WA sports journalist Glen Quartermain for the lead piece on the Sawatzky Cup in his weekly Sunday Times column. See below in the Media and Comms section to read the article. Thanks Quarters!

Congratulations to Tim Lau, of the Scarborough Scallywags team, who is the 100th player to enter! 

We now have a record tournament field of 105 entrants! 

The Sawatzky Cup 2025 Grasscourt Classic, presented by Zarraffa's Coffee Currambine Drive Thru, will be held on Saturday January 11 2025 at Alexander Park Tennis Club, Menora, Perth, Western Australia.

The unique format - a Davis Cup/Fed Cup type team event - with a mix of round robin and knockout semifinals/finals - ensures entrants get plenty of tennis in a competitive but FUN atmosphere and that at the end of the day the BEST teams get their names engraved on the Sawatzky Cup.

All entrants get a "goody bag" of stuff, and all women entrants go into the draw for one of EIGHT spa treatment vouchers.

Add in prizes for the first men's and women's teams entered, novelty prizes, raffles with $$$$ worth of prizes, a free sausage sizzle and Alexander Park's famous bar open early for refreshments and it is a great day for all.

Oh, and the winners - thanks to the amazing support of our generous sponsors - will go home with prizes totalling several thousand dollars all up.

What: Sawatzky Cup 2025 Grasscourt Classic, presented by Zarraffa's Coffee Currambine Drive-Thru

Where: Alexander Park Tennis Club, Clyde Road, Menora, Perth

When: Saturday January 11 2025 from 8am 

From 36 entrants and just one sponsor at the inaugural Sawatzky Cup in January 2021 to a maximum field of 132 entrants and more than 20 sponsors for the 2025 event - that's been the spectacular growth of the Sawatzky Cup in just five years.

But the event would just be 'another idea that never got off the ground' if it wasn't for the generosity of our tournament sponsors.

First and foremost of these is Mr Paul Snell, who initially came on board with his business Complete Commercial Projects. Now his new enterprise, Zarraffa's Coffee Currambine Drive Thru, is our 'platinum' sponsor.

Huge thanks too to Scott Gregson, the Australian distributor of Snauwaert tennis gear - including the International Tennis Federation approved balls he supplies for the tournament. All players rave about the quality of these balls.

Mr Michael Connelly of PM Piping was our original sponsor and he and the company continue to be on board.

DV Buyers Agency has also stepped up to the plate to become a major sponsor; thanks Dan and Violeta!

Arc Infrastructure is another major cup contributor and I thank Martin Holland and all the Arc Infrastructure team for their amazing support.

YONEX Australia provides close to $2000 worth of awesome racquet bags as prizes.

MAXUM Watches, an Australian based company, generously supplies some very cool wristwatches for EACH of our men's and women's winners.

Busselton's SHELTER Brewing Co. is the Official Beer for the Sawatzky Cup - thanks Tom and team SHELTER.

For 2025 we also welcome new sponsor Champion Electrical. Thanks Tim and the team at Champion Electrical!
