Ferocious winds forced the cancellation of matches for the final round of Mansfield Tennis Association winter competition last Monday.

Split points were awarded to all teams barring Terip who had the bye.

There were no implications for the final four, who begin their finals campaign on Wednesday.

For the semi-finals to be held this week, Terip will play Mansfield on their home turf and Benalla will travel to Euroa to compete for a spot in the grand final.

Spectators are welcome to watch from 10.30am.
