REPORT
Grand final day in the Torrens Valley Association threw up some exciting results and some upsets. Two of the finals were decided by just one game.

The juniors got to play just before the rain hit. In the C grade Harrogate upset highly fancied Cudlee Creek by a single game. It was a match played in two halves with Cudlee Creek winning the sets from the 1 & 2 players while Harrogate took the sets from the 3 & 4 players. Fortunately for them it was enough to get home.  B grade was also close with the 2 Mt Pleasant teams facing off, again an upset with Mt Pleasant Blue coming from third to defeat the top placed Mt Pleasant by 4 sets to 2. In the A grade Kersbrook finished an outstanding season to remain undefeated by securing a 5 sets to 0 win against Cudlee Creek with the last set being abandoned as the rain hit.

After a reasonable rain delay the senior matches started an hour late. Springton got off to a flyer against Mt Pleasant winning the 3 doubles. Samuel Beeson and Kane Rawlings too good for Danny McMahon and Nick Seager winning 6-2, as did Rick Rodigheiro and Heidi Roesler over the Seager sisters. Mick and Nikki Rawlings had a hard earned 6-4 win over Jordon Barker and Alistair Seager. The singles were even at 3 apiece. Down1-4 McMahon fought back to defeat Beeson 6-4. The next closes set was a 6-2 win to Tricia Owen over Roesler at number 6. Kane Rawlings too good for Seager winning 6-1, Mick Rawlings went down to Barker 1-6, Nikki Rawlings and Rodigheiro both winning 6-0. Mt Pleasant won 2 of the reverse doubles but it wasn’t enough, going down 7 sets to 5.

 Charleston headed out to Kersbrook with eager anticipation to play kersbrook in the C grade grand final. Welcomed by rain things weren't looking too good, but with time the rain passed and sky's began to clear with some sun breaking through and after a thorough cleaning of courts play was under way.

Charleston claimed the opening doubles sets 2-1. Wayde Newman/ Jason Denham getting the job done against Jackson Grovermann/Michael Westley 6-3 with some very handy tennis and good play. Damon Green/ Ashley Sneesby paired up very well to get the handy 6-2 win over John MacDonald/ Steve Neindorf with some good rallies. Kersbrook snagged a set back through Tiarna Grovermann/Caitlin Westley with a hard fought 6-4 win over Judy Clarke/ Mel Toyer.
 
The singles sets were split 3 a piece with very similar results. Newman stamped his dominance with a crushing 6-0 demolitian job of J.Grovermann in a great display. M.Westley got a crushing 6-0 result over Denham who threw everything at his opponent but just couldn't match him. MacDonald played at his solid best to get past  a gallant hard fighting Green 6-1 . Sneesby played an absolute blinder to get the 6-2 win over Neindorf in a good hard match with plenty of rallies. T.Grovermann fought hard to get the 6-4 win over Clarke. Toyer played out of her skin to get the 6-4 win over C.Westley with great confidence and self belief.

With the day still up for grabs for either team Charleston held a narrow 5-4 lead but Kersbrook would soon change that , winning the reverse doubles sets 2-1. All 3 sets were exact 6-3 results.  Kersbrook wins came from M.Westley/T.Grovermann who were too strong for Denham/Clarke winning 6-3 in a good match.  Macdonald/C.Westley just too good for Green/Toyer with a 6-3 result .  Set of the day could have gone to a few great games but it was the final set that would win the day for Charleston. Newman/ and sub in Custance got off to a great start winning the 1st game in pretty quick time looked the goods, but then lost the next 3 and looked in strife. To their credit though they held some crucial service games and won 5 games in a row including the last where Newman served it out in a thriller giving Charleston the 6-3 win.   Charleston winning the day and Championship on the narrowest of margins 6 sets 51 games to Kersbrook 6 sets 50 games .   Giving the team the premiership after last winning in 2012/13.
