Jim Bailey Cup Club U26 Handicap Championship - Sun. 15 March

A cracking day of non-stop tennis was on display in the annual event for the Jim Bailey Cup. We are so lucky to have a good spread of keen juniors who turn up on time, are respectful of the etiquette of the game, and play in an enthusiastic manner.

A round robin format ensured plenty of tennis with players in two groups. The first semi final was contested by the much improved Eve Filippelli, who was beaten by the experienced Will Buckley. The other semi final, Xavier Wilson (who was unbeaten in the round robin) won a tense game against Joseph Filippelli.

The highlight of the day was an excellent final which at one stage looked like it was going to be a straightforward win to Xavier. Will had other ideas though and came back strongly in the second half. The handicap was spot on as the match rested on the final, 5/5 40-all point which was eventually won by Xavier.
