Teams from the City Community Tennis Centre (Sydney City), Smash Tennis (Campbelltown), Kiama & Shellharbour District Tennis Association and Kiama Tennis Club participated.
Each group was comprised of three four-player teams.
Team one consisted of children from the 8-10 age group who used orange balls, team two (10-12 years) used green balls and team three (13 years and over) used the normal yellow ball.
The event took place over four days during the holidays, with an official dinner held at Kiama Bowling Club where team members were presented with their team uniform by their managers.
The event was won last year by the City Community Centre, but this year the winning team was the KSDTA.
The members of the KSDTA were Orange Ball: Amelia Geraghty, Luke Matesic, Blake Hazell, Jett Rory and Caleb Short; Green Ball: Olivia Sivills, Patrice Sivills, Ryan Fleming, Bronwyn Moseley, Tom Howle and Natasha Mitchell; and Yellow Ball: Jenae Sloss, Jared Sloss, Nicol Petkovic and Zane Montgomery.
The Kiama team consisted of; Orange Ball :Cooper Simpson, Miranda Bodys,Jake Farnworth, Wilson Featherstone; Green Ball: Ryan Fleming, Ben Rankin, Ben Raison, Hamish Tanner; and Yellow Ball: Bjorn Myers, Reid Formosa, Connor Papageorge, Tom Nastovski.
The event is a great initiative, whereby children can represent their club and enjoy friendly competition at the same time.
Congratulations to the organisers, Hannah Jones, Daniel Jones, David Jones, Joe Moseley and the Kiama Tennis Club committee for staging such a successful event.
