FINALLY, the sun was shining and with a lot of work by our greenkeeper we were able to get seven courts up for Saturday's round.

In division A Longwood played Benalla Lawn at Benalla.

The Longwood men of Bede Redfern, Jacob Tarran and Scott Meehan did exceptionally well, winning all 3 sets and being 14 games up before the mixed.

Longwood's young ladies were no match for the experienced Benalla women but will improve as the season goes on.

Molly Redfern, Lilly Meehan and Stevie Mildren–Nicel all contributed in the mixed however winning all three sets and getting Longwood over the line by three games.

Gooram played Strathbogie who came to Euroa with fire in their belly.

Judy Sands, Julie Harrington and Kim McCabe all combined well going down 6–8, 6–7,6–8 and a tight afternoon.

Being a man short meant Captain Chris Ellis stepped up and along with Mark Borthwick won the second men's set in a tie breaker.

Unfortunately, that was the only ray of light for the day as the return of Jason Everleigh and recruitment of Sarah Ternes to Strathbogie makes them a hard team to beat this season.

Strathbogie won by 37 games.

In the battle of the home teams Moglonemby played Euroa Lawn with Marlene Hanrahan and Robyn Johnson kicking it off with a comfortable win over Rowena Ellis and Melinda Creevey 8–3.

Grant Davey and Michael Nolan played Bob Furphy and Caid Miller; however Bob went down with a calf injury after two games which devastated Euroa's chances of winning.

In the absence of an emergency all Bobs sets were forfeited. Gayle Furphy was not letting the Furphy team down winning all her sets with Melinda, Row and then in the mixed with Barry Fischer.

Despite this Moglonemby walked away with a win by 21 games.

St Pauls played Terip at home with Faye Mollison and Megan O'Bree trouncing Terip 8–1, followed by Scott Watson and Jake Hill winning 8–2.

Megan O'Bree was outstanding winning 21 out of a possible 24 games along with Captain Jake Hill winning 18 games.

It was an all–round class performance from St Pauls as even last minute emergency Greg Rowe won all his sets.

St Pauls won by 46 games.

In Division B, St Pauls two travelled to Swanpool on the hard courts and had a last–minute loss of one man and an emergency woman in Lisa Krepp playing her first match, so it was always going to be a tough game.

Congratulations to Lisa Krepp and Suzie Gall for winning St Pauls only set 8–6.

St Paul will be back on the winning edge shortly.

Craig Durkins Euroa team travelled to Tatong for an exciting game.

John Anderson and Craig kicked it off with an 8–7 whilst Kalarni Anderson and Indie Mildern– Nicel 8–5.

Craig along with Indie had an outstanding afternoon winning all three sets and although Euroa won more sets Tatong held on to a six game win.
