TAS vs VIC Day 1
The Tasmanian Aceit Cubs set flight today to Victoria to contest the annual Tasmania versus Victoria junior test series. The event is this year being held at Deer Park in Victoria.
After a practise once they arrived it was straight into Test 1. Both Tasmania and Victoria had a mix of experience with both teams having 5 players on debut. Victoria took the honours on the first morning in both the boys and girls battles however it was only by a mere 4 shots in the boys event.
Josh Walker-Davis took the singles reins in the opening match and made it a successful one at that with a 25-15 win. Isaac Maughan and Josh Brooks also did their bit to give Tasmania hope with Maughan 5 down last night and able to cut it back to one down and win the match 19-16. However our other two pairs could quite get over the line.
The Tasmanian boys also put up a good fight in the second test with Lachie Sims winning his singles match 25-16, however the home side proved too strong in the two triples matches to win the second test 2 wins to 1 and plus 10.
The Tassie girls got off to a slower start only managing to salvage one drawn rink in the first test in the girls triples of Lauren Banks, Logan Curtis and Alana Kalbfell. The girls came back fighting harder int he afternoon however with Ebony White and and Ashlee Woolley setting the tone with a 5 on the first end helping them secure a 15-13 win. While Banks and Curtis continued their good form by winning their pairs match 21-15. Tasmanian Junior Girls Singles Champion Jordan Maughan got to play singles for Tasmania in her second junior representative game in a hard fought battle that saw her narrowly miss out 22-25.
After Day 1 Victoria lead two test to nil in the best of 6 series. tomorrow will be a big day for Tasmania, needing to win at least one of the tests to keep the series alive.
