MILDURA TRI-STATE played 7- 8 November, 2007
New South Wales had a great lineup for the Tri-State, which
created a fabulous contest, both with SA and the Vics. The Men had
trouble in their rubbers on the first day, (Reverse Doubles),
going down to both SA and Victoria, 12 – 4 and 11 – 5
respectively. However, the "girls" held the team together with a
crushing defeat over SA 16-nil, to lead by quite a margin, and
Victoria11-5, levelling at 16 sets all, 141 games all.
Day 2 had all the pairs lined up against their
same number, creating a great contest three ways. Victoria beat
SA, and the NSW girls again made up for the deficit created by the
guys. It was pretty close: only 7-9 vs SA, and 6-10 vs the Vics,
with the girls coming up with wins of 15-1 and 11-5 respectively.
The Mixed was really close, with NSW beating Victoria by 9 sets
114 to 7 sets 114. Against SA it was much more convincing, 13 sets
to 3. Thus we had wins against both the other states. NSW takes
home the Brian Bermingham Shield and the Bob McCarthy Shield. A
sensational result!
Victoria won the Pat & Max Phillips Trophy, by
52 sets to 28 overall. It was a tight contest in the Men’s, with
SA winning 12-4, 87 games to 64 on the first day and having 8-all
on the second, 69 games to 70. The Vics picked up the Mixed and
the Ladies to clinch the trophy. Another great contest!
The Dinner Dance on "The Mundoo" (paddle
steamer), proved to be a "hit" – thoroughly enjoyed by all. The
music and the food were both unbeatable, and it seems people want
to do it again next year, a good choice and great organising by
NSW committee person, and social organiser Margaret Biddle.
As the host state this year, NSW was
responsible for the smooth running of every detail. The other
states agreed that is was a job well done! It was a combined
effort, with thanks to "non members" Carol Daniel and Pauline
Haney, who assisted Val Angel and Robyn Castle on the desk. Best
of all – wonderful play by all out on the court!...Winners are
Grinners!
