Saturday was round four in the Tennis Geelong senior competition.
At the start of the day Section 4 mixed had only eight points between first and sixth, with the expectation of some close matches and possible ladder moves.
Top of the table Anglesea travelled to Teesdale, who were sitting fourth, for the closest match of the round, with gusty wind playing havoc with some of the shot making.
The first two mixed sets went one to each club, followed by the men’s and ladies sets also going one to each team, with Anglesea having the advantage by two games.
Finally, the reverse mixed sets repeated the fashion with one going to Teesdale and one to Anglesea, with the final score finishing with Anglesea winning the day with three sets 29 games to Teesdale’s three sets 26 games.
Grovedale were glad to be playing away to Centre Court while everyone else was battling the wind as well as their opposition, the indoor centre providing relief from the elements.
As with the first match, the initial sets were split with the Grovedale taking the first 7-5, then Centre Court the second 6-0.
Grovedale’s ladies proved too strong in the doubles taking it 6-3, but Centre Court countered in the men’s with a 6-2 win.
Centre Court proved too strong in the final two sets giving the home team their first win for the season after three close losses.
The close knit team of Moriac Blue however had a good win at home over Hamlyn Park five sets to one.
Mother and daughter Fiona and Emily Blood teamed up with mother Sue and sons Gus and Zac Maibaum to enjoy some family time on the court, and they seem to be enjoying the company and the results, as they now sit in second place only half a point behind Anglesea.
The best set for the day went to the mother daughter combination 6-1.
Barwon Heads consolidated itself in third place with a 6-0 win over Moriac White, now only three points from top spot.
Moriac struggled with the blustery conditions at the Heads, only managing eight games for the day.
