At home against Dendy Park in the final match of the year before the summer break.
Steve played against a leftie, with heaps of long rallies. Steve winning all the vital points to win 8-1.
Aden (who wasn't firing at 100%) unfortunately couldn't get it done, going down 2-8.
Ashley (who kindly filled in) played a fellow leftie, which was a bad matchup for Ash, going down 3-8.
Daniel played in the closest singles, with a break in play at 6-5 the turning point, going down 6-8.
Steve and Ash struggled early for 3-6 and down early in the 2nd set. They did manage to step up to take the 2nd set 6-4. However they went down in the match tiebreak 3-10.
Aden and Daniel lost the first set 3-6. However they did step up for 4-2, before running out of gas for 4-6.
Overall: a tough way to head into the summer break. However the team should get reinforcements in February (led by yours truly) to finish the season.
