What a dominant display from our team – a clean 3-0 match. This was a very determined group of young ladies, who battled the odds all week with injuries, but this one was always theirs. So deserved – well done to all.

What a moment once that last hit was smashed for a winner - its Bronze

The winning team – how good are they!

What a way to go out for Amy & Alana - it meant so much to them to finish this way. Thanks girls for all your efforts

21 Women dominating

Our 21 Men went down in a close tussle 23-25 in the 4th – no medals but a courageous week from the guys. Beat some teams unexpectedly and probably lost to some they would have expected to beat.

The 21 men - no medal but a great effort

Silver Medalists - our U17 Women. Fantastic week for them

19 Men - shattered at not getting a Medal. Another epic 5 setter this time on the wrong end.

Now its time for our 21 Women – who are on court warming up. I will post updates each set.

Some pics from today
