Hicks and Anderson secure doubles win

COMPETITION is heating up for the Euroa sides in the GMLTA and the BDTA as teams jostle for ladder positions in the lead-up to finals. In Division one of the BDTA, Euroa Lawn has tightened its grip on the ladder top spot after accounting for Terip Terip. Most sets were tight and there wasn’t much in it until a couple of sets blew out late in the afternoon. Joel Hamill was outstanding to drop only nine games across three sets. The score was Euroa Lawn 65 to Terip Terip 45. In Division two, Euroa Lawn went down by seven games to a classy Avenel White outfit. Marlene Hanrahan had a good day to win two of her three sets. The score was Euroa Lawn 52 to Avenel White 59. Over in the GM2 Open Section, Euroa White enjoyed a day out at home against Tongala. The side claimed nine of 10 sets to record a percentage-building win over the visitors. Keigan Hicks was a standout to win his singles set 6-0 and claim doubles set with Dublin Anderson 6-1. The score was Euroa White 78 to Tongala 36. And Euroa Blue lost to the Cobram Crocs despite winning more sets than the visiting Cobram outfit. Sarah Ternes was back in form to win her singles and doubles. The result went down to the wire but an injury to Kristen Davey saw her lose her mixed set 8-1. The score was Euroa Blue 61 to Cobram Crocs 69. In Division three, Euroa Green backed up last week’s win with a massive victory over the KPOS Captains. The home side won all 10 sets in an impressive team effort. The score was Euroa Green 76 to KPOS Captains 30. And ladder leader Euroa Rad has bounced back after last week’s defeat to record victory over the Cobram Crickets. Jake Hill was back in winning form, claiming both his singles and doubles sets. The score was Cobram Crickets 49 to Euroa Red 60. Good luck to all our local competitors in Country Week at Swan Hill. We’re hoping some silverware makes its way back home.
