22 December 2011 | Tennis Queensland
On the 10th December to 14th December the Queensland Tennis Centre, Griffith University, and University of Queensland Tennis Centre played host to young tennis players throughout Queensland participating in the Queensland Junior Teams Carnival. Gold Coast Region won the title in 2010 however this year they were unable defend their title due to the driving force of the Metropolitan North Team who took out the title for 2011. The Metropolitan South Region was a close second showing Metro’s dominance as a region.
Regions such as Central, Sunshine Coast, South and North Region actively participated in the event. With the regional players coming to participate makes the event competitive and proves to be the most enjoyable and fun event on the Junior Calendar for 2011.
