The Goulburn Murray Lawn Tennis Association division one regular season has come to an end, with the top four locked in and finals fixtures confirmed.
Rich River Rebels ended a fantastic season on the grass by taking out the minor premiership, despite having a last-round bye.
They will be joined in the finals series by Numurkah Warriors, Echuca Lawn and Velvet Tigers, with the Rebels and Warriors receiving a double chance.
In the most exciting match of the round, Echuca Lawn downed Shepparton Lawn Average Joes 88-72.
An undefeated day for the Joes’ Nicholas Gattuso was a standout performance, however, it was not enough to get his side over the line.
A big final rubber victory to Echuca’s Zac Harris and Sheree Starling helped get Lawn over the line and hold on to third spot.
In one of the the weekend’s other fixtures, Numurkah Warriors sent Velvet Tigers from second to fourth after a crushing 35-game victory.
David Poole set the pace early and went undefeated on the day, combining with Oscar Crilly and Mark Mills to add to his singles win.
Rose Nihill did her best to keep the Tigers in the contest after a big 8-0 rubber win, however, it was not enough.
In the final game of the round, Shepparton Lawn Tropics downed Shepparton Lawn Phoenix Suns by 32 games.
The fifth-placed Tropics were dominant throughout the day, with the duo of Luke Turcato and Will Rhode the only pair to win a rubber for last-placed Suns.
