Tennis junior ace development matches

Cody Kirk and Molly Kennedy have both had a fabulous couple of weeks and after making the Western PSSA team they performed creditably on Sunday to finish runner-up in the 12 and under boys and girls singles events.

Holly McColl was runner-up in the 14s while Ben Evans played an excellent semi final to qualify for the final of the 16s where he went down in a tight set.

Ellen Dolbel and Maddy McCormick both made playoffs in the 12s and 14s respectively while Lily McCormick just missed out on the playoffs after a nail biting 17/15 tiebreaker.

Turning 13 last week, Abbey Kennedy is challenging herself this year by playing mostly 16 and under events and yesterday played some tough matches and will be working hard on her fitness off the mark to maintain rally pace with these big girls.

Ethan Hunt played in the 10s and is continuing to improve every week.

Ethan finished in a 3 way tie for 2nd in his pool and missed out on going through to the playoffs by just one game.

Lithgow JDS is on this Sunday followed by Dubbo on March 19th.

WESTERN SELECTIONS

After a tough day at Bathurst Parkes was successful in securing four places in the Western PSSA team for this year.

All four are from Parkes Public including Ellen Dolbel, Molly Kennedy, Cody Kirk and Joseph Tanswell.

Lily McCormick also from Parkes Public made the playoffs in a good effort and Jay Arrow from Middleton strangely missed out on the playoffs despite only losing one match in his pool to the top seeded player.

The Western team will play at the State Carnival in Newcastle in May.
