\n\u00a0Up and coming ACT 12\/u player Annerly Poulos played a thrilling singles final against Kelly Gilmour (NSW). Annerly put up a good fight which she unfortunately ended up losing 6-2, 7-6. Poulos has been in the spotlight lately as one of ACT\u2019s home grown tennis stars successfully competing in tournaments around Australia. \u201cShe (Annerly) played really well at this tournament. It was really good to make another final. With a really close match that could have gone either way\u201d said Coach Todd Larkham. Annerley is currently training 12 hours a week preparing to compete for the 12 and Under National\u2019s Title to be held in Sydney held in two weeks time.\u00a0\u00a0
