Hats off to our tennis heroes

THE EDITOR: My three friends and I started playing tennis two years ago and we try to play as much as we can to get better. We therefore every afternoon after school went to the Jean Pierre complex to watch the games. Unfortunately we were only able to see the doubles. On Tuesday we saw our local heroes Ivor and Dexter play, but unfortunately they were beaten badly. They however tried their best.

The other three evenings we saw the Stone brothers play and they won all their matches. Their last match against Guatemala was the deciding match for Tt and we shouted our voices off and we were not let down as Shane and Troy won to save the day for TT. We admired the fact that they were both carrying injuries with Troy playing with a heavy strapping on his leg. The way they fought/played with skill and determination despite their injuries had all four of us saying at the end of the game that we too were going to represent our country in tennis and we to were going to be winners. Thanks Shane, Troy, Ivor and Dexter. You played your hearts out for your country and you made four young ladies very happy.
