Division 1 battled in a close contest with Kerang, going down by 6 games in the end. Sally had a good day out winning all her sets.

The Club Championship finals have been played in the juniors and the mens. The ladies will be played this week. The small crowd on Thursday night were treated to some great matches.

Simon Morton is the mens champion once again, defeating young Jordan McNeil. Chelsea Collier won the girls championship over Belle Morton and the junior boy was won by James McDonald, defeating Evan McNeil.
