IMMACULATE Conception High and Campion College boys triumphed at the 15th staging of the LIME National Tennis Finals Saturday at the Eric Bell Centre with Michaelann Denton and Ramone Doyley fittingly taking home the Most Valuable Player Award.

Denton, undefeated in the tournament, outshone Wolmerian and the only girl that could have beat her, Phadria Kepple, 6-2, 6-2 in the first singles.

“I think I performed fairly well due to the fact what I was comfortable ’cause I’ve played most of my opponents before. The final against Phadria was my most difficult match, as I had to try and cope with the sun and the heat but I came out on top,” said MVP Denton, who teamed up with Serena Harjani to also take her doubles match against Tanice Fogarthy and Analisse Moseley of Wolmer’s.

Sonam Khemlani and Megan Viera also won their singles match for Immaculate, beating Sarah Orrett and Moseley 7-5, 6-2, and 6-2, 6-1, respectively.

Immaculate won 5-2, winning three of the four singles and two of the three doubles.

Assistant coach Arthur Phillpotts, who has reduced his role and given the top job to his son Carlos, said: “We gave up the regional encounter with Wolmer’s but we wanted the final. We look forward to doing it four times next year.

“Teamwork did it for us. We had a very big team of 30 girls and only 10 could get to play. We tried to make as many people play as possible but the team came out and cheered for one another and that was the thing, teamwork,” he noted.

Wolmer’s Girls coach Jordache Deuce said: “We lost one singles too many. If we had won two of the singles, then it would have been harder on Immaculate. They were in relax mode going into the doubles because they were up 3-1… overall our girls fought real hard.”

Campion College showed no mercy to Wolmer’s Boys, winning 7-0 as Doyley led from the front with a 6-0, 6-0 clobbering of Audi Smith. Andrew Bicknell, Ceran Messam, and Kristov Gayle also completed the singles task for Campion, with Khareem Marshall, Douglas Fletcher, Rory Barrett, and Saied Pitt playing their part in delivering the doubles.

MVP Doyley stated: “We came here with a mission to come and demolish Wolmer’s, as we’ve lost to them in the past. We just put what we trained for and executed it perfectly.”

Wolmer’s Boys coach David Sanguinetti put a good face on his team’s loss: “We gave it our best. Campion, coming in, were always the stronger team on paper. A lot of the match went the distance, so I don’t think the score is a true reflection of the outcome and how closely the tie was. But give them credit, they had a better team on this day.”
