AA: \u201cThe shortened format has been a real winner.\u00a0It is a chance to play in a team competition that is all over in 3 weeks!\u00a0\u00a0It’s also a great way for the youngsters to ‘test their mettle’ against some of the more seasoned campaigners (and vice versa!)\u201d.<\/p>\n
Has your squad been training together and\/or doing any other activities as a group in the lead up to the ATL?<\/strong><\/p>\n AA:\u201d We havent done anything out of the ordinary to get ready as a team for this competition.\u00a0All of the players in our squad are members of the Trinity Titans Men\u2019s State League team so we have a club training Thursday nights, occasionally grab a bite to eat after training, then play in the local competition on Saturdays\u201d.<\/p>\n Who would you nominate as a player from your team as \u2018one to watch\u2019 and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0AA: \u201cOur number one Li Tu is slowly working his way back into form. \u00a0He was a member of Australia’s Junior Davis Cup team earlier this year before having a break from tennis. He is now getting some match play and fitness under his belt and can be dangerous when on song. \u00a0Also keep an eye out for our doubles specialist Mark Mullins who’s unorthodox play may catch a few youngsters off guard\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n What is the strength of your team as a whole?<\/strong><\/p>\n AA: \u201cTrinity’s\u00a0strength is that we have deliberately chosen a squad of players that have played at the club for five years or more and we all love the club we play for. We have been a successful club in State League for a long time now and although we perhaps are not the strongest team on paper we hope our past success resonates into this elite competition\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Who do you view as your team\u2019s biggest threats?<\/strong><\/p>\n AA: \u201cOn paper Glenlea look strong. Their number five player (Darren Polkinghorne) has an ATP singles ranking which just shows the depth they have. \u00a0If Memorial Drive can get their full list on the court they will also be a real challenger. \u00a0And of course our arch rival Broadview, with Marty Richards spearheading them, will always be around the mark\u201d. \u00a0<\/p>\n Are there any team sponsors you would like to mention?<\/strong><\/p>\n AA: \u201cWe are lucky to have two very generous clubman in Steve Markey and Craig Heading \u00a0who have again helped us out with sponsorship. \u00a0We have extremely proud and very grateful to have Stel Communications and Cartridge World on board The Titans again this year\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Trinity Titans hit the court this Thursday night in round one against Glenlea Sharks at 6.15pm at Memorial Drive. Entry if free and there will be a free sausage sizzle!<\/p>\n\n
