Manly Ladies 4, Badge WINNERS Division 4, Winners 5-3

/in , /by

Manly Ladies 5 secured a thrilling victory in a very tight match again division leaders, Chatswood, managing to win all four tiebreakers.
Captain Kate said that though the opposition won more games overall, we claimed five sets to clinch the win! Noriko and I took the final set, but the real highlight was Ruth and Rachel’s incredible comeback, rallying from 5-2 down to win their second set in the first rubber. It was a huge effort from the entire team!
Congrats Ladies.
