Wandana scales dizzy heights

Wandana Heights proved its win in the semi-final over minor premiers Surfcoast Torquay wasn’t a fluke by backing it up in the final.

Heights won three rubbers to one in the Open section, but wasn’t quite as lucky as Wandana’s Blue team in 4 Mixed lost to Eastern Districts.

The teams were two sets all going into the reverse mixed and while the teams shared these sets, Districts took the win by six games.

Moolap had the best participation on Saturday with four teams competing in three finals and 2 Open was a battle of the Yellow and Black teams, with Black looking to avenge its semi-final loss.

The first singles was a battle with Yellow’s Kyle Beattie winning 10-5 in the super tiebreak while Mark Core and Uzair Shah fought through in the doubles 6-4, 7-6 for Black. Shah also had a tough singles win, before Core teamed with Joel Wilson to seal the win for Black 3-1.

Moolap Black was victorious in 1 Mixed when it accounted for Waurn Ponds with a clean sweep. Gold made it a trifecta for the club in 3 Mixed against Newcomb when it won the reverse mixed after being tied at two sets to take a 4-2 win.

Newcomb was also vying for two other premierships with teams in 1 Men and 2 Mixed.

Bannockburn appeared shellshocked in the Men’s when Newcomb won the first four sets negating the need to play the final two sets.

Grovedale proved to be a tougher opponent in the Mixed with the match going down to the wire. The teams went set for set, but Newcomb stayed ahead on the games count, and got over the line by just one.

All Saints had a great season in 3 Open losing only one match going into Saturday and continued their winning run with a 4-0 victory over Lara.

Ocean Grove Blue set up the win in the 2 Men’s final against Western Heights Uniting winning the first three sets. From there Uniting fought back taking the fourth and fifth but Blue rallied to seal the result taking the sixth putting it ahead 4-2.

Geelong East Uniting also had a good start in 3 Men, having three solid wins and a tiebreak loss, putting it ahead 3-1 before Clifton Springs fought back winning the final two sets. But with an eight-game advantage, Uniting held out to take the flag.
