\nThe matches were all well\u00a0fought and with the teams poised at 2 matches apiece, the final match was set to be a tense\u00a0affair.
\nThe healthy turnout of spectators from both clubs ensured that the final match between Jaime and Kevin\u00a0was regarded\u00a0with a buzz in the atmosphere. The players didn’t disappoint and delivered what\u00a0turned out to be a tremendous battle\u00a0that thrilled the audience in\u00a0a\u00a0climactic “5-setter”. Unquestionably the match of the night, it saw great displays from both players of courage and resilience. Kevin took the initiative and worked himself into a terrific\u00a0position with a\u00a02-1 lead going into the 4th game. He gave\u00a0an exhibition of volleys,\u00a0taking the ball early at every opportunity, and sending it to good length to either side and also produced some wonderful touch drop-shots which got\u00a0him to match ball in that game. Where others may have found the match\u00a0beyond recovery at\u00a02 match-balls down in the 4th game, the current Munster Champion rallied and dug deep and showed his mettle\u00a0to come back and take the match in the 5th game. Undoubtedly the fixture will live long in the memories of the spectators that lined the gallery and the ground-floor viewing area of\u00a0the centre court on the night.
