JUNIOR tennis players from across southwest Queensland put all their hard work and practice into play at the Tennis Hotshots Colourball Circuit 2019 final held in Chinchilla on Sunday.
Coaches Tom and Stephen Farrell were rapt with the effort from players throughout the year.
"We helped launch Hotshots 10 years ago back in 2009, the Western Downs region was actually the first area in Australia to launch it as we were the trial for the program," Stephen Farrell said.
"The different colour and age levels within Hotshots really accommodates for all levels of junior tennis, right from the kids starting out in prep at 5 through to our teen players who are currently playing at regional and state level."
