Kady competes in tennis final

Kady Pinchbeck of St Hubert's Island has competed in the state tennis final of the Junior Development Series held in Woy Woy and Gosford from October 25 to 27.

Kady joined more than 200 junior tennis players over the three-day event played at Woy Woy Tennis Club and Gosford Tennis Centre.

Tournament director Mr Brad Cross said the three-day event brought together talented children from across the state.

"Over 200 of the best junior players in NSW competed in the 2008 State Final and the standard of play was excellent," Mr Cross said.

"Finals in eight separate age divisions were held on October 27, with talented juniors from all corners of the state participating."

Kady competed in the Girl's Under 14 Singles competition, winning her first match against Allison Corfield from Jamberoo, 6-1, 6-4.

However, Kady did not manage to progress to the quarterfinals after being defeated by the Girl's Under 14 state singles champion from Grafton, Brittany Huxley, 6-2, 6-0.

In the consolation matches, Kady defeated Emily Mccoll 6-2, 6-3, and Richelle Van Ryswyk, 6-3, 4-1, but was defeated by Rochelle Morris in the semifinal.

The Junior Development Series is a series of round robin tournaments played in all corners of the state throughout the year.
