John Durbin Tennis Academy

Saturday wrap
Jemma Grogan - Cold Rock Star

A great start to the school holidays for Natalie Neighbour and Brenton Thiele, taking out the finals at the John Durbin Tennis Academy social junior tennis last Saturday afternoon.

The kids were in high spirits and all played excellent tennis. Natalie had played well all afternoon and although Emily Auer gave it her all it forced Natalie to step up and play some great shots. Jye Hawley had to play Brenton to decide who was going into the final but both boys played so well they continued to play the final. Jye was able to run down Brentons shots to keep the ball in play to try and force an error by Brenton. This kept the game locked for most part but Brentons ability to play deep and fast drives won him the game.

Well done to Julian Reynolds who played in an international tournament in Brisbane last weekend. He went into the tournament ranked 10th in his age group with competitors coming from other states and overseas.

Don't forget next Mon, Tues, Wed there is a tennis clinic. All interested should call 41531441 to enquire and/or put their name down.
