Two-way battle in tennis action

-

Haven and Drung South are locked in a twoway battle for the fourth finals berth as Central Wimmera Tennis Associatio­n’s pennant competitio­n enters its final three rounds.

Drung South dropped out of the top four after a loss to ladder-leader St Michaels at the weekend, while Haven’s win against Telagatuk East pushed it ahead of the Drungsters.

Kalkee went a long way towards shoring up a finals spot with a dominant 11-103 to 3-70 victory against Horsham Lawn.

The Kees won all four singles rubbers in a comprehens­ive rout, and now only trail second-placed Lawn by percentage.

St Michaels won the final four doubles rubbers in a back-and-forth match against Drung South to all but seal the minor premiershi­p, winning 9-97 to 5-70.

Telangatuk East is still searching for its first win of the season, but was competitiv­e against Haven in a 9-99 to 5-71 loss.

Telangatuk East split the 10 doubles rubbers with Haven, but was defeated soundly in the singles section.
