Newton and Thrift played  local competitors from Moree, Mungindi, Boomi and Yetman to advance to the second round.

Tamworth hosted the second leg in which Newton and Thrift competed for a position against the North West junior players.

They both played outstanding tennis on the day to secure their position in the North West PSSA team.

The finals will be held in Rockdale and will run for a week.

This is Thrift's first time to the state finals.

Newton made it to the event last year.

They are both busy training for the big event and the Moree club wishes them all the best.
