Seacliff Tennis Club<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Collingrove Tennis Club<\/strong>\u00a0have claimed the\u00a02022-23 <\/strong>Tennis SA Junior State League\u00a0<\/strong>premierships on Friday evening at The Drive.<\/p>\n

In the girls\u2019 competition, Seacliff defeated Athelstone Tennis Club five rubbers to one to win their fourth Junior State League premiership.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a pretty tough match up. We were coming into this just hoping to play our best and I think we were able to do that,\u201d Seacliff girls\u2019 team captain,\u00a0Elim Yan\u00a0<\/strong>said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing. This is my last time playing juniors, so it feels great to win. I really hope the team can keep this going over the next few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been great to have everyone out here. This new facility is amazing and it\u2019s been really cool to play here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the boys\u2019 competition, Collingrove took a four rubbers to two win over Tea Tree Gully Tennis Club to claim their first Junior State League premiership.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really good quality final. Everyone played really well, especially those who had never played in a final before. For them to step up to the occasion is really good to see,\u201d Collingrove boys\u2019 team captain,\u00a0Jude Gale <\/strong>said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means so much to win. This is our first time ever being in Junior State League, with a new team, it\u2019s a really great sign for the future of Collingrove Tennis Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was unreal to play at The Drive with the amount of people there. Playing at The Drive is always good, but having umpires, linespeople, access to the Player Lounge, it\u2019s just so cool. It makes it like we are professionals, but we are just playing club tennis! It was really special and enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tennis SA Junior State League Coordinator Mitchell Reilly<\/strong> was pleased to congratulate the winning sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to congratulate the 2022-23 Tennis SA Junior State League champions, Seacliff and Collingrove,\u201d Reilly said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Seacliff\u2019s fourth premiership on the girls side, while this is the first for Collingrove in the boys. Both teams are thoroughly deserving of this fantastic result.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to thank all clubs, players and volunteers who have been a part of this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur sincere thanks also to all who attended the Junior State League grand finals, as well as the Junior Awards Night held earlier in the evening. It was fantastic to see such a large crowd supporting our junior players.\u201d<\/p>\n
