Central Park celebrated its first win of the 2020-21 Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant season on Saturday.
Both Central Park and its opponent Homers have found wins hard to come by, but the Parkers managed to dominate proceedings in round seven to win 10-90 to 2-57.
Nicole Zweck-Penhall was Homers’ strongest contributor, winning two of her three sets.

Homers will meet Kalkee at Haven this week, while Central Park is likely to come crashing back down to earth at home against undefeated Drung South.
Drung overcame Horsham Lawn, 8-80 to 4-61, with its juniors once again in top form.
Lawn’s Cherie Wood impressed again, with team-mate Ross Janetzki also snaring two sets.
Despite plenty of pushing and shoving in the middle of the pack, Drung South remains a step ahead of the competition.
Lawn, St Michaels and Kalkee are relatively even this year and will continue to jostle for second spot.
Lawn and St Michaels will do battle in this week’s match of the round, at Lawn, with St Michaels coming off a win over Kalkee. The Saints won easily on paper, 8-86 to 4-46, but the Kees took to the court without regulars Jeff Friberg or Steve or Grant Schultz.
The Saints men continued their rich run of form, with Peter Hayes dropping just two games for the afternoon.
With the men’s competition looking one-sided, Kalkee’s women stood up, all winning two of their three sets.
Kalkee has an easier fortnight ahead, with matches against Homers and Central Park in the pipeline.
There were some interesting results in A Special last week, with Horsham Lawn Massey defeating Horsham Lawn Savage 8-88 to 6-86.
Ladder leader Telangatuk East held off Haven to win by two sets, although had Haven claimed another set it would have won on games.
The final score was 8-79 to 6-84.
Players and officials will be watching the weather forecast as the week progresses, with soaring temperatures on the cards.
The association’s heat policy is based on a forecast Saturday temperature of 38 degrees at 8pm on Friday night.
Ladder: Drung South 28 points, St Michaels 16, Horsham Lawn 16, Kalkee 16, Central Park 4, Homers 4.
