Euroa Lawn tops tennis table

EUROA Lawn is three wins clear at the top of the table in Division 1 of the BDTA, after accounting for Strathbogie in Saturday’s searing conditions. Lawn won six sets to three at the Strathbogie Tennis Club, with very handy fill-in Faye Mollison playing at number three and conceding just seven games for the afternoon. The final score was Euroa Lawn 63 to Strathbogie 41. And in Division 2, David Vaughan’s Euroa Lawn outfit saluted again this week after beating reigning premier Swanpool by the nail-bitingly narrow margin of just three games. Fill-in Kim Flack was a very welcomed addition to the side, going on to win all her sets with the other ladies Robyn Johnson and Lyn Johnston. The men in Daniel Flack, Craig Durkin and David Vaughan had a tougher day of it but won enough games against the experienced Swanpool men to get their side over the line. The final score was Swanpool 54 to Euroa Lawn 57. Over in the Goulburn Murray league, Euroa Green enjoyed a comprehensive win over the Mooroopna Cats with grandmother/grandson duo in Julie Harrington and Josh Higgins putting on a sizzling display in the heat. Both won all their sets and paved the way for their side’s comfortable win seven sets to four win over the Cats. The final score was Euroa Green 67 to Mooroopna 47. And the boys in GM2 Open enjoyed another big win, this time over the Shepparton Lawn Pelicans. Bede Redfern and Michael Nolan were impressive in their singles sets winning 6-1 and 6-2 respectively. Shepparton forfeited three sets, which added to the one-sided result. The final score was Euroa White 70 to the Pelicans 34.
