Euroa White dominates Commandos to secure top spot in GMLTA Open

IT was a joyous weekend of tennis where all sides playing in the Goulburn Murray Lawn Tennis Association enjoyed a home-ground advantage. Euroa White stamped its dominance on the Open section of GMLTA after a devastating win over the KPOS Commandos, claiming nine of 10 sets. Michael Nolen, Keigan Hicks, Declan Weston and Dublin Anderson were undefeated and the win now secures the side top billing on the ladder. The final score was Euroa White 76 to Commandos 50. Grant Davey’s Euroa Blue bounced back after last week’s loss to account for the Tatura Monsoons. Sarah Ternes, Matt Teasdale and Mark Borthwick were standouts by claiming all their sets and helping their side to a comfortable 23- game victory. The final score was Euroa Blue 69 to Tatura 46. In GM3, Euroa Rad retains top spot on the ladder after a narrow win over a smart Numurkah outfit. Jake and Kelly Hill pulled out all stops to get their side over the line and won all their sets, including the mixed, where they only dropped two games. The final score was Euroa Red 56 to Numurkah Penguins 52. The pendulum swung the other way for Euroa Green which went down by four games to the Kyabram Bombers. In a highlight, Chris Ellis and Julie Harrington teamed up to win their set 8-1 and help keep their side in the hunt but it wasn’t quite enough. The final score was Euroa Green 56 to Kyabram 60. And in the Benalla and District Tennis Association, Euroa Lawn sits comfortably at the top of the table, four wins clear of Strathbogie in second spot, after beating Gardens Gold. The contest was neck and neck until the mixed sets where it was a clean sweep for Euroa. The final score was Euroa Lawn 66 to Gardens Gold 53. It was the last round before the Christmas break for both the GMLTA and the BDTA.
