Life members Cup-Round 2 Report from David Graham

The Life Members Cup Team travelled to Hornsby-Killara Tennis Centre on Sunday 3rd July with Garry Gleissner pulling out mid-week with an injury.

The injured David Graham filled in and played down the order.

Steven Thurstan returned to Inter District and paired with Bob Morgan winning the first set 6/3. David Jones and David Graham came back from a  slow start  to take a tough set 7/5  The home team took the next two sets including a tight  7/6 win over Stephen Thurstan and David Graham. The old combination of Morgan and Graham steadied the ship 6/3 and with two sets to play the match was evenly poised. No 1 pair Thurstan and Morgan won 6/3 but in a solid match against the top Hornsby pair David and David salvaged three games (6/3 loss) with David Jones rallying well and putting a lot of pressure on the Hornsby combination.

At the end of the day a narrow win to Kiama 4 sets 42 games to Hornsby’s 4 sets 38 games. Stephen Thurstan played well in his comeback to competition tennis from 2012 showing signs of greatness. Improvement will continue over the next months with more match play. Bob Morgan sustained an injury to his hip flexor early in the match but battled on to win three of his four sets.

All-round this was a solid effort from the Kiama side.
