A round-one rematch between 2018-19 Central Wimmera Tennis Association pennant grand finalists Kalkee and St Michaels did not disappoint as a new season got underway at the weekend.
The Saints exacted a small amount of revenge for their grand-final defeat at the hands of the Kees by winning a 6-73 to 6-69 thriller.
Momentum swung back and forth throughout the day, with each side claiming three singles and three doubles rubbers. Ultimately the outcome was decided in the last rubber of the day, when Saint Jess McDonald defeated Kalkee’s Anna Exell 8-3 to seal a narrow win for her side.
Horsham Lawn’s two teams – Gillespie and Thompson – both got their seasons off to great starts with big wins against Natimuk and Central Park respectively.
