The season started in early October with 52 teams in total before the finals were played on Sunday across six grades.
The grand finals were hosted by Shepparton Lawn Tennis Club, with the junior players’ friends and family packing out the courts to show their support.
In the A-grade final, after a tight contest across the first few sets, Kialla Park Old Students Red was able to run over the top of a brave Kialla Park Old Students White by nine games.
In B1-grade, Shepparton Lawn White beat Tallygaroopna by nine games, while in B2-grade, Nathalia Purple (which made it through the season undefeated) overcame a valiant Shepparton Lawn White by four games.
In the C1-grade final, a rampaging Shepparton Lawn Yellow beat Kialla Park Old Students White by 15 games, while in C2-grade, Nathalia Purple defeated Nathalia Gold by one game in a scintillating final.
In D1-grade, Shepparton Lawn Green was dominant in its match against Mooroopna Lawn, winning by 17 games.
Last but not least, in D2-grade, there is no grand final due to it being a league for young beginners, but Tallygaroopna won the league after finishing on top of the ladder.
Winners are grinners: B1-grade winner Shepparton Lawn White with Judd Pelly, Blake McCrindle, Ty McAuliffe, Chace Hueston, Levi Baldi.
