Thurgoona Cats Win Albury Pennant Grand Final

My team won the Section 1 Grand Final on Saturday afternoon. The finals for all sections (1 through 6, men and women) were held at the Thurgoona Golf and Tennis Club, which is the club I play for. It was fun having the finals for all sections at the same venue, because it drew a crowd. Unfortunately Kristen and I didn't bring the camera to the final, but I posted some pictures (below) from our semi-final match last weekend against Forrest Hill.

My teammates are named Rodney Wurtz and Steve Uiliands. Our team beat the other team 4 to 1. At #1 Singles, Rodney beat his brother Graham Wurtz in a tiebreaker. At #2 singles, I beat Scott Redman 8-4. #3 singles did not quite finish, because the deciding match finished while Steve was leading his opponent (Don Bokkic) 7-4. In the Dubs, Steve and I lost in a tiebreaker, Rodney and Steve won 8-6, and Rodney and I won 8-2 (over a team we had not beaten all season).

On Saturday night, we went to the awards ceremony. Then we went to the Thurgoona Country Club to celebrate with the a bunch of our tennis friends. The whole season was lots of fun!

Congrats on the win! If you're keeping up with US news no worries, by the time you guys come home it will all be sorted out, sort of :-)
