BTC’s Premier Series Pennant drew to a close last week after a full season of very closely fought matches. Five teams consisting of Ballarat’s top players fought it out over the course of the season with the teams of Brett McFarlane & Will Hoskin v Mark Hartnell & Rob Jolly making it through and battling it out in the Grand Final.
Premier Series Winners Mark Hartnell & Rob Jolly
After losing to Rob Jolly earlier in the year, Will Hoskin was keen to make amends in the final and started strongly taking the first set 6/3. The second set was a tighter affair, with a terrific standard of play on offer for those that came along to watch. A tense and very close second set saw Will once again take out the set and finally the match winning 6/3 6/5.
The second match of the night was another close affair with Mark Hartnell getting through in the end – winning 3/6 6/4 6/4 and taking the night to one match all!
The deciding doubles match however was not quite so close – with a well gelled team of Hartnell & Jolly taking victory 9/1 and becoming BTC’s first Premier Series Champions! Congratulations to them both on a well deserved victory.
Mark Hartnell, Rob Jolly, Brett McFarlane & Will Hoskin
