WITH the uncertain weather conditions on Saturday, an early call was made to abandon the day's play in the Wangaratta Lawn Tennis Croquet and Pickleball Club’s senior aggregate tennis competition, giving the traveling players time to adjust their travel plans. However, presentations were still made later in the afternoon, with awards given to the club champions and to the aggregate competition winners. The aggregate competition had 22 rounds scheduled for the season with two rounds being cancelled, including the last round, and a total of 83 different players participating over the 20 completed rounds. The aggregate competition has awards for the top five players overall, and one for the lady player with highest aggregate score. The overall aggregate winner was Ryan Patterson with 345 games, slightly ahead of Mark Gorman (343 games) and Andrew Cope (341 games). Mark Brown (326 games) and Peter Curran (321 games) rounded out the top five, while the ladies aggregate was won by Sue Piper with 253 games, nine games clear of Amy Lairson. With that, the summer season has come to an end, but Saturday tennis will continue throughout the off season with an earlier start time of 1pm. In other club news, the North East Vets day at WLTCP will be held on Sunday, 13 April - this is a fun social event and is open to all players over 30 years of age. The full details can be found on the club’s website at wanglawntennis.com.au.
