Men’s coach Luis Bello summed up the weekend, “The key was not only to win against a team we had defeated twice this season, but to display our consistency, technical ability and experience. The boys did exactly that and came victorious without dropping a set in the whole year”.
“We were worried that Noah’s injury was going to affect the team, but on the contrary it only made the team be more focused and hungry for the victory”.
“The under 15 boys started a little shaky in the first set and the challenge was to get the boys to understand their individual responsibilities while working as a team”.
