The on court temperature was 45 degrees, however this didn’t take away from the fierce competition
to see who Cooma’s best players are this year.
The Men’s A Grade Final is the game of the day that draws the crowd. This year it was played between
Corey Bedingfield and Simon Bolton. Both players had come off dominant wins early in the day and
were looking in good form. The first game Corey got off to a quick 3 nil lead and looked to gain an
advantage, however Simon started to cut the balls off and put the pressure back onto Corey, leveling
the score at 6 each. Corey regained control and took the first game 9-6. The following two games saw
both players running hard and playing for each shot. Points were going each way and rallies lasted
longer than a couple of minutes. The second game got to 7 points all and Corey showed his dominance
in the later stages of the final two games taking the match and the Men’s A Grade Championship,
winning 9-6, 9-7, 9-5. Court time was just under the hour for this match and both players are to be
congratulated on an excellent match.
