Frosty mornings turned into brilliant sunshine on the weekend as a full round of matches was played in the Berwick District Tennis Association.

The build up has now began to a huge grand final day on Saturday 10 September with teams jostling to be there on the big day.

In representative tennis, BDTA teams in both Under-14 girls and Under-16 boys had big wins in Tennis Victoria’s Association Junior League (AJL).
