29 April 2014 | Tennis Queensland

The Fed Cup visiting town brought a unique experience for some of Queensland’s local officials. Our Line Umpires selected to be included in the 19 member team were – David Best, Dell Dent, Joanne Herbener, David Lecce, Nick Marjason, Troy McKernan, James Micallef, Tomoko Narasada, Melissa Strickland and Shardo Ulferts. Congratulations to all on a job well done.

April has certainly been a busy time for many officials working at many AMT’s and JT’s, throughout the state and even some travelling to northern New South Wales. Thank you to all the officials for your time and efforts.
