NERTA Tennis Grand Finals

Scores were level after the initial sets but after the next round of sets, Corowa had edged head by five games and according to Hardcourts Captain - "this maybe a little too much to haul back with two sets remaining”.

Hardcourt produced some great tennis in the remaining sets to push Corowa to the limit, but Corowa's ability to remain cool in a crisis proved crucial as Hardcourt pushed hard to make up the difference, mistakes began to flow at the most inopportune moments which allowed Corowa to win the last sets and cruise to a convincing victory.

Wahgunyah Red (Scott Wilson, Ethan Palmer, Kane Palmer, Mareeta Corcoran) eased past an improved Wooragee Blue (Dean Bensted, Nathan Parkes, Mark Knoth, Eiylish McRostie) effort from two weeks ago in the Semi Final.

Wooragee were the aggressors all day trying to overwhelm the powerful Wahgunyah team to snatch an unlikely victory as Wahgunyah Red had been the team to beat all year.

It was the consistency and experience of the Wahgunyah team that dragged them over the line to victory.

The match was evenly poised with two sets remaining, and only three games separating the sides.

The last two sets were split, and Wahgunyah gained an additional two games and victory by five games.

Under 15

Corowa Demons (Oscar Rowe, Will Forrest, Jai Allen, Nina Hardy) have ended the reign of Wahgunyah in the Under 15 competition with an impressive performance against Wahgunyah Black (Ruby Reid, Jaxx Johnstone, Lucia McCellan, Coby McQuade).

Corowa Demons were the more consistent team on the day, although the result wasn't what Wahgunyah wanted, they continued to compete to until the last point.

All players should be proud and their efforts and the sportsmanship that was on display.

Junior Player of the year Will Bergin Wahgunyah Black.
