It’s been a busy few weeks at the Wangaratta Lawn Tennis, Croquet and Pickleball club, with the junior and senior club championships decided on the glorious grass courts at Merriwa Park. The juniors had their presentation day on Saturday, 28 February, taking to the court in an intergeneration morning where they teamed up with an older family member for a fun and social hit to show off their improvement over the season. At the conclusion of play there was a BBQ and presentation of our junior awards for the season. The seniors also recently wrapped up their club championships. Sam Allen claimed his fifth consecutive singles title, while Mandy Allen brought up her eighth ladies’ singles title. Mandy also had success alongside Matt Allen, the duo recording their 13th title as a pair in mixed doubles. Results Seniors Men’s open doubles – Winners: Joe Allen and Matt Allen.
