The rotator cuffs and knee joints had been greased and ready for action, but a stormy October day led to some Shepparton District Tennis Association matches being called off.

Across the Section One division on Friday, October 18, Lemnos’ match against McEwen Reserve Gold and McEwen Reserve Red’s match against Shepparton North were called off.

In Section Two, Murchison’s match against Shepparton North was also cancelled due to the weather.

On Saturday, the sun emerged, the birds began to chirp and fresh new tennis ball canisters were opened — the contents of which were undoubtedly given a satisfying sniff.

In Section One’s sole Saturday fixture Karramomus confidently handled Central Park, winning the match 9-54 to 0-25.

Meanwhile, in Section Two’s Saturday fixture Karramomus claimed a nail-biting 5-41 to 4-35 victory over St Andrew’s.
