Winner
Mount Maunganui 5/1
An ouststanding day of tennis. A big crowd at Katikati on a stunning
afternoon with strong support
from the Mount with a bus of 30 supporters making the trip. At top
doubles Mount were in great form with
a very clinical performance. Both Brown and McCashin were complete in
every aspect of the game.
In the bottom doubles Salmon/Bowen played very well to take the first
set in the tie-break before
Donald/Kelly took a stranglehold on the match taking the next 12 games
in a row to win the second and third
sets. The match of the day was the top singles. Martin was in
blistering form hitting winners off both sides
of the court and dominating with his big serve and volley game.
Leading 6/0, 4/0 it looked like Martin was
going to dispose of Brown quickly. Nick Brown dug deep, and through a
very gutsy display, and some sublime
tennis from all over the court, reeled off 6 games in a row to take
the second set. The third set was tight with
Martin breaking Brown at 2-2 and held on to take the final set 6/4
with both players calling on all their reserves.
In the No.2 singles the first set was extremely tight with Donald
taking it 7/5 before running away with it 6/0 in
the second set. At No.3 Dan Kelly was too solid for Peter O'Dea, Kelly
taking the match 6/3, 6/4. At No 4
Steve McCashin was dominating Anton Mitchell before Mitchell retired
sick down 6/0, 1/0
