FOUR Euroa teams braved Saturday’s searing conditions in Shepparton for the grand finals of the Goulburn Murray Lawn Tennis Association.

And one team, Euroa Red, returned victorious with the silverware and a swag of most valuable player awards.

Euroa Red, which led the GM3 competition for most of the year, handled Saturday’s hot conditions better than its cross-town rival Euroa Green to comfortably take the title.

The ever-reliable Faye Mollison was awarded best player on the day after winning her sets 8-1 8-1, while team captain Jake Hill and wife Kelly Hill each took out the most valuable player for the season titles.

Jake Hill said it had been a thoroughly enjoyable season and thanked the GMLTA for making the Euroa sides feel welcomed in their debut season in the league.

“It’s been great to make new friends, visit different towns, and play a terrific standard of tennis,” he said.

“I’ve been lucky to have a reliable bunch of players who put their hands up to play week in, week out.”

In GM2, McEwen Reserve proved too strong for Euroa Blue, with the Shepparton side recording a 22-game victory.

The wheels fell off for the Euroa side in the mixed events, where it was a clean sweep for the winners.

In GM2 Open, Euroa White went down to minor premier Stanhope.

Euroa Lawn Tennis Club president Mark Borthwick said that while three of the four results didn’t go Euroa’s way, it had been a very successful season.

“To have all four sides in the grand final reflects the strong position tennis is in our town,” Borthwick said.

“We have record numbers in junior tennis, and some great young talent coming through the ranks.”
