Tribute to the late Neville Halligan OAM – a
great Australian
(posted Sep 19, 2013)
Neville Halligan, a much-loved icon of
Seniors tennis in Australia and abroad,
passed away peacefully on September 18
in Brisbane, aged 91.
Neville
represented Australia 16 times between
1992 and 2011 and was awarded an OAM for
his services to Seniors Tennis. He won
3 consecutive World singles titles – a
feat not accomplished by any other
Australian, and also won 2 World doubles
titles.
Mentally alert to the
end, he was still monitoring the results
of the Australians currently playing in
the Super Senior World Championships in
Austria and the Czech Republic.
Notice is hereby given that the
Tennis Seniors Queensland AGM will be
held at Tewantin Tennis Club on Sunday
22 September at 6.30pm (or close of
