Shiralee Balcomb’s team claimed the division one title, while Angie Hobbs’ team took the crown in division two. 

Organisers said the matches were played in good spirits and the winners weren’t known until the final sets. 

Shiralee’s team was favourite to win the division one pool, but faced some stiff competition from Lynne Balcomb’s team from the outset. 

The first two sets went 6-4 with both teams taking a win. 

Shiralee combined with Cat Vaughan to take advantage of a 6-3 match, and Rebecca Whyman and Kristie Sale won another 6-3 to edge out a narrow lead. 

However, playing some consistent tennis Lynne and Susan Bassett scored a 6-4 win to keep games within four at the final set. 

Whyman paired up Vaughan and secured the win for their team 32-27 with a close 6-5 win over Melinda Armstrong and Alison Randall. 

The division two final was also hotly contested. 

Angie Hobbs took a 6-3 loss at the hands of Mayda Jamieson and Tracey Byrnes, which they consolidated with a 6-4 win. 

However, Hobbs combined with Sharon Troy to score a 6-0 win and put their squad one game in front, but the lead quickly changed hands again as Jamieson and Byrnes scored a 6-1 win. 

A solid 6-4 game to Dianna McPaul and Troy kept things in check, with just two games separating the teams. 

Hobbs then combined with Troy to claim the win with an outstanding 6-1 match to finish the night. 

Organisers said it was good to see all the players in good spirits as they enjoyed afternoon tea at the presentations. 

Special awards were presented to Susan Bassett and Tracy Byrnes as winners of the most games in division one and two respectively. 

Players thanked event manager Kim Tarlinton for her support.
