Shepparton Junior Tennis Association welcomed hundreds of young guns to the grass for a serving of sumptuous match play, having Saturday’s semi-finals hosted across the region before a scintillating Sunday grand final date at Shepparton Lawn Tennis Club.

Across the eight divisions, premiers were crowned following an action packed morning of tennis, and heading the lot was Kyabram Lawn in A-grade.

The western outfit prevailed by two games in a genuine white-knuckled affair, edging out Kialla Park Old Students Red 5-35 to 3-33.

Tatura Lawn Blue saw off Shepparton Lawn Blue 6-42 to 2-26 in B1 grade’s group one, while group two spoils were reserved for Shepparton Lawn Yellow after it defeated Shepparton North 5-41 to 3-26.

Arguably the game of the day arrived in B3 grade, where Nathalia Lawn Gold prevailed by a single game over Nathalia Lawn Purple in a 4-32 to 4-31 belter.

Another derby cropped up in C1 grade, with Shepparton Lawn Blue beating its White counterparts 5-41 to 3-26, while Blue also held firm in C2 to emerge with a 7-47 to 1-28 result over Mooroopna Lawn.

However, Mooroopna Cats did strike pay dirt in D1 with a 5-39 to 3-35 triumph over Katandra, while the final flag went to D2 premier Kialla Park Old Students.
