INTER-PROVINCIALS 2010: BELFAST BOAT CLUB 10th/11th of SEPTEMBER - CHAMPIONS: MUNSTER
Following the great achievement of the 2010 Munster Senior Interpro team winning in Dundalk in August at the 2010 Senior Interpros the Vets headed to Belfast aiming to make it a double for Munster this year.
It's been 10 years since the Vets last won the Interpros and with a new team selection criteria in effect for this years Team selection a lot was at stake heading to Belfast.
The selection criteria for the 2010 Interpros was a team chosen from results and would hopefully make the difference at the Interpros.
Following a weekend of tight matches and very vocal support from the Munster supporters Munster achieved an emphatic victory and took home the Vets Interpro Champions 2010.
With an overall total of 48 points up for grabs, Munster headed into the final round of play, with 16 points at stake, 3 points ahead of Leinster. While a good advantage nothing is guaranteed as Munster found out at the same stage last year when 4 points ahead.
These 16 matches consisted of 8 doubles and 8 singles matches and none were going to be handed to them.
There is no third set in vets tennis it is a champions tie break (first to 10 points) and these are character building.
Munster won overall by 7 points. The difference at the end of the day was Munster lost 1 champions tiebreak, Leinster lost 8, it was that close.
Congratulations to all team members and Non-Playing Captain Alice Fawsitt on a fantastic win.
