CURRUMBIN: THEY WILL WIN MORE FINALS GAMES THAN THEY DID LAST YEAR

THE Eagles’ first loss in 2018 did not come until Round 8; this year it fell in their seasonopener. There is hope, however, that they have prepared in a way that will allow them to peak in finals to right the wrongs of their gut-wrenching straight sets exit last year after clinching the minor premiership. There is more youth on their list this time around and enough class in Phil Ramage, Daniel Mortimer, Pele Peletelese (below), Luke Jurd and the like to see them contend in September.
