On Friday 30 March saw the finals of the 10/U Green Ball State League competition for Term 1 with the Boys playing at Peake Gardens and the girls playing at Millswood Tennis Centre.
This was the second term that the Green Ball State League ran following the Term 4 pilot. A second division in the boys was added, which saw an uplift in team numbers and more opportunities for our talented 9 and 10 year olds.
The match format for the season has been;
- 2 player teams
- FAST4 Format
- A double, single and reverse singles played
- Home and away fixture
- Finals played at a central venue to allow for presentations
The finals format involved all teams who played off for their final placing at the one venue to create atmosphere and allowed for presentations after the matches.
In the boys Second Division, top of the table Henley South played against Denman Light Blue. Both teams were going into the Grand Final with three wins and two loses during the Term 1 season. Henley South got off to a great start winning both singles lead by Charlie Grainger and Peter Atsikbasis, but in the doubles Denman hit back with a close 5-4 win to keep their final chances alive. It was a close encounter in the reverse singles with both matches staying close, but Henley South were too strong in the end winning both reverse singles and claiming the title for Division 2.
