Mansfield holds fourth spot on tennis ladder

SEVERE frosts and fog set the scene for Round 10, but after the mist there was great matches in Euroa and Mansfield. Benalla travelled to Euroa for their contest against Seven Creeks, Euroa hosted Wappan and Moglonemby met Terip. The home sides were challenged by their visitors this round. Delatite’s Natalie Bergsma, Jo O’Brien, Deb Mims, Kassy Thomas and Loretta Armitage welcomed Creighton’s Creek in Mansfield. Creighton’s Creek Marja Wondergem, Gayle Furphy, Ros Doxey and Erica Mercer had all the answers and took the ten points 6/48 sets to 0/19. Moglonemby’s Judy Sands, Deb Seach, Mary Kelly and Lyn Johnston enjoyed laughter and lengthy rallies in their match but Terip’s Cindy Hayes, Frances Lawrence, Bec Lyttle and Phoebe McDermid found a way to win every set and move further ahead on the top of the ladder. Terip 6-48 defeated Moglonemby 0-14. Benalla’s Kate Campbell, Claire Sharp, Maureen Jewell and Deb Siggers were convincing in all their sets after lengthy rallies against Seven Creeks Rowena Ellis, Kelly Hill, Kerry Hewlett and Genevieve Calvert. Benalla won 6-48 to Seven Creeks 0-16. Euroa’s Julie Harrington, Ruth Nolan, Lyn Pierce, Triona King and Mary Dewis took a while to warm up against Wappan but took both openers with smart courtcraft and superb placement. Jenny Bell and Rhonda Carpenter had raced to an early lead, but Julie and Ruth steadied and used their experience to take the set 8-6. Ruth and Triona won their set 8-2, while the double Jenny combination, Smith and Bell, combined superbly to win theirs 8-1. The final sets went 8-4 each way with Euroa winning the day 4/37 to 2/31. The competition pauses for the mid-winter break over the school holidays and returns on Monday July 15.
