More tennis success for Eddie

The golden season continued for Ngtaranga tennis player Eddie Biss, with his Under-17 Northern side winning the National Junior Teams Championships in Hamilton.

The mixed team of Eddie, Chan Min, Nehal Naidoo, Andre Duggan, Sammi Liu, Muhan Cui, Mala Krzanic-Sullivan and Sasha Warren won all five games to be crowned national champions.

The Northern team takes in players from clubs north of the Harbour Bridge.

The win was a send-off of sorts, as it was the last junior tournament for many of the team.

Six of them have been playing for Northern together since Under-12s, so a win was the best way to say farewell, Eddie said.

“It was a good way to finish out our journey.”

Teams played three boys singles matches, three girls singles, one boys doubles, one girls doubles and a mixed doubles game per tie, with the team with the most wins winning the encounter.

Despite stiff national competition, Northern managed to win two of their matches 9-0, taking the title in style.

Eddie said his favourite memories from the tournament were playing some tight doubles matches and getting an impressive singles win.
