Mansfield claim winter tennis win at home

ROUND 13 was sunny and cold for matches in Mansfield, Euroa and Terip last Monday. In the top of the table clash Terip faced Benalla who got off to a flier winning the first three sets. Terip’s Bec Lyttle, Phoebe McDermid, Jenny Martin and Michelle Lees warmed up and Phoebe and Jenny took their set 8-5. Benalla’s Kate Campbell, Claire Sharp, Maureen Jewell and Helen Chectuti had come to play and strongly secured both final sets on the plateau. Benalla won 5/45 to 1/19 to edge closer to Terip at the top of the ladder. Mansfield hosted Moglonemby in a tough battle, winning both openers, then losing the next two. Judy Sands, Debbie Seach, Robyn Johnson and Mary Kelly began plotting their comeback, but Peta Kelly, Keira McDonagh, Sophie Yencken and Clare Beecham had other ideas. Mansfield took both final sets 8-3 and won the day 4/41 to 2/27. Delatite welcomed Euroa with Karyn Fraser and Jo O’Brien beginning strongly and taking their opening set to a tiebreaker, unlucky to lose it. Euroa’s Lyndall Bigland, Chris Ellis, Di Ellis and Mary Dewis found their range in the remaining sets and won the match 6/48 to 0/15. In Euroa the battle of the Creeks played out in a tightly contested match. Creighton’s Creeks Marja Wondergem, Gayle Furphy, Erica Mercer and Lisa Krepp enjoyed lengthy rallies and good quality tennis. The teams alternated the winning sets all day, but Seven Creek’s Rowena Ellis, Kelly Hill, Kerry Hewlett and Genevieve Calvert edged out their opponents by three games. Seven Creeks defeated Creighton’s Creek 3/ 39 to 3/35 to switch places with them on the ladder. After Round 13 Terip has 84 points, Benalla 79, Euroa 79, Mansfield 71, Wappan 57, Seven Creeks 55, Creighton’s Creek 52, Moglonemby 38 and Delatite five.
