In exciting finals fashion the winner wasn't known until the last set was played. Both teams finished with three sets each and when the games were added up it was Team Shalhoub which had won 6 more games on the night. A special mention must be made of Sonya who displayed shades of Ash Barty on the night, staying cool, calm and collected enabling her to win all three of her sets.

The match for the wooden spoon also came down to the wire - three sets all and only one game the difference, the losers (who won the wooden spoon) were Jenny Donohue, Margaret Ogilvy (filling in for Mary Lou) and Susie Wessell. Melissa Blondinau, Sue Pascoe and Elanna Herbert just missed out on the big prize by trying too hard at the end!

Our longstanding co-ordinator Sue Pascoe presented all the winners and runners-up with store gift cards and also chose Susie as the most improved player throughout the competition. It was no surprise that the skilful and consistent Jo Simon won the prize for the highest number of games won for the season.

We still need more players to commit to the next comp, beginning on July 25th so please contact Sue on 0448 738 245 if you'd like to join us in this fun comp.
