WA Open 2011 (Sunday) Beach Volleyball

Excerpt from Volleyball WA: "4 time Olympian, Natalie Cook with her partner, our very own Tara West won the AAA Women's division against the Malaysian Team comprising of Shun Thing Beh and Teck Hua Luk. This is the first time Nat & Tara took a 1st place on the Australian Series this season. Their Malaysian opponents have played on the FIVB Swatch World Tour before but have never played on the Australian Tour until now.
Once again, we saw Victorian Damien Schumann coming back to WA this time with a new partner, Owen Boland with whom he won the Semi Final in the AAA Men's division against WA's Adrian Lee and his partner and long time supporter of the WA Open, Aaron Crook. Unfortunately Damien and Owen had to forfeit the Grand Final due to travel arrangements.
In the other semi final we most probably had the game of the tournament. With the two top WA teams competing on the 92.9 court. Michael Snart and Josh Court defeated Blake Borrett and Cole Durant in a sensational game and it really showcased where WA Beach Volleyball is at presently.
Due to the forfeit by the Victorians, WA's Michael Snart and Josh Court won the AAA Men's grade and became the WA State Champions. This was the 4th WA event they have won in the 2010 / 2011 season. ‘We are very happy about the result but it is a shame we have not actually played the game (grand final)' both Michael & Josh said."
