Keith Muir in top form for Kew in Rothman tennis championships in 1976....

Kew Tennis Club were runners up in the second division of the Rothmans inaugural cup in 1976.  Although well beaten by the Whakatane side, they were proud that they had beaten many other minor associations around New Zealand.

Keith Muir of Kew returns a forehand during the final of Rothman Cup tennis championship.

Kew beat Nelson in the semi-final of the knock out competition.  They only managed to play three games before they had to abandone due to weather.  Kew were 3-0 up.
In the next day's game against Whakatane, games were rushed so they could catch a plane at midday.
Keith Muir, No 1 for Kew and Southland gave a great display against D. Hawkes (Whakatane). 
Lynn Wilson continued her good form and did not lose a match.
