It was a magnificent weekend for tennis in the Berwick and District Tennis Association with only two of the 55 scheduled matches affected by weather.

In the coveted Osborne Shield Cranbourne and Pakenham had terrific wins, while Drouin and Narre Warren North played out an absolute ripper on Saturday.

Drouin won the most games – 35 to 32 – but Narre Warren North won two matches to one and four sets to three to take the points.
