Kiama Shellharbour Vs NSW Chinese-Sunday 17th July
In an outstanding team performance the Kiama team of Steve Thurstan, Ross Smith, Steve Sharman and Kevin Jones demolished the NSW Chinese team 7 sets 45 games to 1 set 23 games. The team got off to a flying start 6-1, 6-2 in the first two sets. Steve Thurstan and Ross won their four sets while Steve Sharman and Kev, after pushing the Chinese number 1 pair to 3 all in the final set , eased off to drop the set but finished with an admirable three sets each.
Steve Thurstan again played strongly and was well supported by the rest of the team. This great win will make it difficult for other members of the Kiama team to get a game !
Special mention must be made of the expert coaching provided by team manager Bob Morgan….he made a great contribution also in his organisation of afternoon tea and then cleaning up and washing the dishes afterwards…thanks Bob .
