On Saturday the 10th of January kids had the chance to compete  in the first ever orange ball event at the 2015 Brisbane International. Eight schools competed in the Orange Ball Brisbane International School Challenge equaling a total of 45 talented orange ball kids playing the event. The kids were all very eager to step onto court to compete and represent their school.

In the Orange Ball Challenge, St. Andrews Anglican College (SAAC) pulled out a close win against Fig Tree Pocket State School (FTPST). It was a close tie between the two schools, the first doubles going to Fig Tree Pocket State SchoolT 6-5 and the second doubles going to St. Andrews Anglican College 5-4. This had both schools at a dead tie and in order to determine a winner one more game had to be played between the two schools. This created great excited with all team members and parents watching from the sideline, cheering for their school. A close last game was played and with sheer determination St. Andrews Anglican College pulled out the win against Fig Tree Pocket State School.

The players representing the St. Andrews team were players; Toby Everard, Zara Larke, Larissa Tylim, Fletch Lumb and Ben Lorentsen.
