MONDAY NIGHT VOLLEYS

Michael Green and Luke Evans continued their winning run with a clean sweep over Shaun Ellery and Richard Hamilton, and in the process giving them a 1-point lead on the pointscore.

Right behind them are Ian and Jacob Ward who won their match last week against Jake Thompson and Alex Evans by 3 sets to love.

There are only two more rounds before the playoffs and the top teams will be keen for the exclusive first position.

MONDAY NIGHT ACES

It was all even-stevens between three pairs last week with no clear-cut winners.

Barry Coghlan and Laurie Wakefield, and Craig Thornton and Jake Symington all won 2 sets and scored 17 points, while Mark Job and Peter Evans also won two sets and scored 16 points.

Greg Phillips and Jo Macdonald were at the receiving end of the barrage and only managed 3 points for the night.

MONDAY TOP SPINS

Di Tillman and Amanda Draper took their match with Richard and Sandra down to the wire, losing 6/5 but came up with one win and a total of 15 points for the night.

Despite winning two sets, Geoff Massurit and Alan Smith were next best on 13 while Gail Smith and David Kent scored 2.

MONDAY SMASHERS
