Euroa Lawn soars to the top of Section One

EUROA Lawn has pulled clear at the top of the table in section one of the Benalla and District Tennis Association after accounting for Gardens Gold on Saturday. The women in Marja Wondergem, Rowena Ellis and Marlene Hanrahan sailed through their sets undefeated while the men had a tougher time of it. Lawn also claimed all the mixed sets to finish with six sets in hand to Gardens’ three. The final score was Gardens Gold 43 to Euroa Lawn 61. To the Goulburn Murray Lawn Tennis Association, and both Euroa clubs saluted in section three. Euroa Green was untroubled by Nathalia and went on to drop just one set for the day. Bob Furphy was impressive by winning his singles match and conceding just five games for the afternoon. The final score was Euroa Green 75 to Nathalia 39. And Euroa Red took on ladder leader in the Kyabram Redbacks and showed them that at home on our lawn, the Reds take some beating. Scott Watson and Jake Hill got the job done in the singles matches and the girls in Faye Mollison, Megan O’Bree, Kelly Hill and Danielle Scotis (on debut) cleaned up in the doubles and mixed matches. The final score was Euroa Red 92 to Kyabram 60. And in section two of the competition, Euroa Blue had a tight tussle with the Cobram Crocs but emerged victorious with nine games in hand. An even contribution from all players was required to get the job done and the team is consolidating as a genuine finals contender come the business end of the season. The final score was Euroa Blue 67 to Cobram 58. And in the open competition of GM2, the juggernaut which was Euroa White came unstuck at the hands of KPOS Commandos. Jacob Tarran played a great couple of sets adding both of his to the side’s total of four winning sets for the afternoon. The result came down to the wire but the home side proved just a bit too strong on the day. The final score was Kialla 61 to Euroa 52.
