Aces high
Top tennis player Emma Pennefather is following in her gran Nancy's footsteps
Petro Norval
LAST week saw almost 100 junior tennis players descend on Richards Bay to participate in the annual Zululand Junior Tennis Championships.
It was the first time in four years that no rain fell during the course of the tournament, and it was as if the players tried to make up for play lost in the past and it looked like Wimbledon on our doorstep.
From the bunnies - ages four to nine - through to the U18s, the tennis played was of a high standard and it showed that Zululand tennis is alive and well and going from strength to strength.
It was a special occasion for Nancy Pennefather of Mtunzini - seeing her granddaughter Emma winning the singles, doubles and mixed titles.
Nancy herself was a multiple Zululand champion in her day and it must have brought back many good memories of years gone by.
