Brianna McConnell of Agnes Waters was all smiles when her name was called out for the major prize of a new Tennis Racket and was only two points behind Jaiden Dwyer of Bundaberg who won Section 2 of the Orange Ball. Jaiden after being promoted from Red to Orange in this term, only lost one game 7/6 to Francesca Thompson on her way to be Overall Winner in the Orange section with Angus Burton of Agnes Waters third. Adam Pozzebon of Bundaberg has improved after a short time off, winning all his eight matches, to win by four points from Brendan Ryan also of Bundaberg. Adam and Brendan played a fantastic match with long rallies, Adam winning 7/4.

Isaac Bavin of Bundaberg surprised himself by winning Section 1 of the Red Ball without losing a match from Hamdan Majid of Bundaberg and Ciaron Ryan, brother of Brendan, taking out Section 2 in the Red Ball. The day was more about boys and girls participating, concentration to improve their skillls on the game, their counting and scoring skills and also for parents to get involved in learning the rules and everyone having fun. Players were hitting softer balls, using smaller nets and smaller courts which bought the game down to their size enabling the players to hit more and more tennis balls.

Players from Agnes Waters, Gin Gin, Childers and Bundaberg competed. The next Challenge day will be in Gayndah in September.

Now, with only two weeks of the weekly Hot Shots games left for this term, names are being taken for Term 3 by phoning Kevin 4152 0753 or 0409 520753

Saturday afternoon fixtures will resume this Saturday for two more weeks also after players have returned from the Junior Masters circuit which was held in Biloela on the weekend
