The weather gods smiled down on players in the Berwick and District Tennis Association (BDTA) on Saturday with a beautiful winter’s morning greeting players at courts across the region.
A full-round of Sunday matches was also played, but Saturday morning produced the best conditions of the season so far.
And it was Narre Warren North, Pakenham, Drouin and Beaconsfield Blue who made the most of the conditions, having strong victories in the Osborne Shield.
Pakenham and Drouin were in dominant form against Sandhurst and Officer Blue respectively, while Narre Warren North and Beaconsfield Blue had to work a little harder against Cranbourne and Beaconsfield Gold.
Here are this week’s results:
