In a week where Tennis Geelong competition was supposed to be in hiatus with school holidays, Thursday Triples Section 4 got a second chance at their grand final after rain ruined the original scheduled date.
Grovedale’s Top Spinners hosted Highton’s Flyers in the top of the table match with the Spinners, in their first season, taking control of the match, winning the first four sets.
Cooper Bateson and Claydon Tresidder started the team on the right track winning the first doubles 6-0, but from there, it was a battle.
Darcy Haw fought through in the first singles, winning 6-4, followed by a 6-5 win with Bateson in the second doubles and Tresidder securing the win taking the second singles 6-4, and finishing the season undefeated.
Women’s Midweek will be returning this week for Round 11 with either four or five matches of the regular season before finals and most sections still have multiple teams in contention.
In Section 1, Surfcoast’s Bellbrae and Torquay, along with Geelong Lawn, look solid in the top three with a final order still to be decided while Ocean Grove has 10 points to make up on Highton in fourth.
Point Lonsdale is looking likely to finish minor premiers with a 13-point lead on Barwon Heads in second, in Section 2, but with only four points separating it from Geelong Lawn, Winchelsea and Grovedale, every week will be important.
Section 3 and 5 look to have their finalists decided with 19 and nine games respectively between fourth and fifth, while Section 8 has between five and nine points between each team, so it will be difficult to see too many changes here.
Aireys Inlet enjoy a six-point buffer from Ocean Grove and Clifton Springs in Section 4, which is six points ahead of Wandana Heights in fourth, then a further five points to Surfcoast Torquay and Barwon Heads, giving all six teams a great chance to earn a home final.
Clifton Springs and Surfcoast Bellbrae look entrenched at the top of Section 6 with seven points between them, then another 10 points to Hamlyn Park in third. From there, there is only an eight-point gap to eighth place giving all teams a chance to play finals.
Seven teams have a chance to make finals in Section 7 with only 10 points between second and sixth while Wandana is another six points back and still has an outside chance.
