There was a bit of pressure in the doubles tonight, but we got there in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in the boys\u2019 competition, Seacliff took a commanding four rubbers to two victory over Trinity Gardens to claim their first Junior State League premiership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought our singles really took control of the overall standings tonight and then we were able to finish off strong in the doubles,\u201d Seacliff boys\u2019 team captain, <strong>Noah Koeroessy<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels really good to come back and win it this year,\u201d Koeroessy added.<\/p>\n<p>Tennis SA CEO <strong>Steven Baldas<\/strong> was pleased to congratulate the winning sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to congratulate the 2018\/19 Tennis SA Junior State League champions, Seacliff Tennis Club,\u201d Baldas said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth teams have had a fantastic season and their victories tonight are testament to their determination, hard work and a fantastic team effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the evening, the <strong>Tennis SA Junior Award Presentations<\/strong> were held to recognise and reward the achievements of South Australian junior players over the 2018\/19 season.<\/p>\n<p>Two players stood out from their peers to win the Junior State League Player of the Year award. <strong>Jasmine Adams<\/strong> from Seacliff was awarded the Female Player of the Year and <strong>Stefan Bianchet<\/strong> from Glenlea was awarded the Male Player of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the Junior Award Presentations, players hit the court for the national anthem before commencing play.<\/p>\n<p>In the girl\u2019s competition, Seacliff had all the pressure heading in sitting top of the ladder all season with their opponents Pembroke who had nothing to lose. Pembroke\u2019s Juliette Robinson and Elim Yan came out strong winning the number three and four singles 9-5 to give their team an ideal start. That put all the pressure back on Seacliff, but Seacliff\u2019s Jasmine Adams and Cydney Crumbie bounced back winning well like they have done all season and giving their team a two game lead heading into the doubles.<\/p>\n<p>In the double\u2019s, top pair Jasmine Adams and Cydney Crumbie blitzed Pembroke\u2019s Meeka Marshall and Juliette Robinson 6-0 to set their side up. In a hard fought second doubles, Pembroke came up on top winning it 6-2 but wasn\u2019t enough to get across the line going down by four games. Officially declaring the 2018\/19 Junior State League Premiers to the Seacliff Tennis Club.<\/p>\n<p>In the boy\u2019s competition, Seacliff came up against Trinity Gardens with Seacliff hoping to get a win to make history and have the girls and boys in the same year win the Grand Final. Trinity\u2019s number one Callum Gale was too strong for Noah Koeroessy winning it 9-1 and giving his team a fighting chance.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Trinity Gardens, it was all Seacliff after that winning the second singles and second doubles sealing victory and officially making Seacliff Tennis Club the 2018\/19 Junior State League Premiers.<\/p>\n<p>The Seacliff Tennis club after losing last season in both the boys and girls have bounced back and made history winning both the boy\u2019s and the girl\u2019s competition in the same season. It\u2019s well deserved and Tennis SA congratulate the Seacliff Tennis Club on a fantastic season and milestone.<\/p>\n<p>Tennis SA would particularly like to thank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statewide.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Statewide Super<\/a> for their support towards women in tennis, plus all clubs, players and volunteers that participated in the Statewide Super Junior State League season.
