After last weekend saw two surprise victors, division one again delivered with some cracking round 11 tennis action on Saturday.
Last-placed Numurkah Warriors travelled to Shepparton Lawn Tennis Club to take on first-placed Average Joes.
After going down to Shepparton Lawn The Valley last weekend, Average Joes made it two losses on the trot as it went down to the Warriors in an upset.
Numurkah found itself four sets up late in the match as the Warriors cruised to a comfortable 5-67 to 7-73 victory away from home.
The win has seen the Warriors jump the Velvet Tigers and move into third spot on the ladder, while Average Joes remain, for now, in top spot with one round remaining before finals.
In the other division one match, The Valley made light work of Velvet Tigers away from home.
