Port Augusta’s five teams of junior players competed in the annual four-day carnival competition held at Memorial Drive, Adelaide.

Despite getting off to a disappointing start with some matches being rained out on the first day of competition, each team competed in a good number of matches.

Playing at the Memorial Drive facility enabled the players the opportunity to play on varying surfaces including clay, grass, synthetic and hard courts.

Teams were selected from Port Augusta and Quorn players.

They were:

16U boys, team Port Augusta/Quorn: Tom Collins, Tim Manning, Sam Daw and Albert Seagrim.

This team competed strongly, winning two matches, drawing one and losing only one. They came third overall in their division.

Full results were:

Port Augusta/Quorn def Port Augusta, 6 sets to 0 sets

Port Augusta/Quorn def Barossa and Light (Blue), 6 sets to 0 sets

Port Augusta/Quorn drew with Hills, 3 sets all.

16U boys, team Port Augusta: Adam Bentley, Dustyn Brauwers, Simon Finlay and Gunther Toime.

This team was forced to play in a higher division than they nominated for but did not let this stop them from giving their all at each match and tying on sets in one match. They came fifth in the division. Their results were:

Port Augusta lost to Port Augusta/Quorn, 0 sets to 6 sets

Port Augusta lost to Hills, 0 sets to 6 sets
