Premier 3-75 were defeated 12-105 by Kialla Park at the weekend.

Helene Steward and Nick Fenaughty both won their singles comfortably, 8-0 and 8-5 respectively.

Emily Ryan and Caitlyn Price had a good 8-6 win in their doubles match while David Bate narrowly went down in a tie-break in his singles.

Premier One had the bye.

Cobram Blue 1-45 were defeated by Shepparton Purple 13-99.

It was a tough day at the office for Blue, winning just the one set for the afternoon.

Rod McLeod and Helen Bruni won their mixed 8-3.

As silly as it may sound, this is an improvement on their earlier encounter.

Shepparton is going to be very hard to beat when the whips are cracking.

Cobram Cream 4-67 were defeated by Strathmerton 10-96.

Skipper Phil Bourke won his singles 6-4 while both women’s singles games went down to the wire.

Glenice Sefton was on the right side of a tie-break but unfortunately Lauren Taylor was on the wrong side of her match.

Julie Dennis and Cath McGrath were also involved in doubles victories with Sefton and Taylor.

Cobram Red forfeited to Nathalia.
