WITH the Daylesford Lawn Tennis Association club championships only a month away it must have been the smell of Tarn-off on the silverware that lured five players back for their debut matches this season.
In section 1, two of them led the field in with past-president Adrian Maude 22/14 edging out Sam Johnson 22/15. Pete Hatfield 21/17 was third ahead of Brian Nolan, fourth with 19/17 and Taylor Hofman 19/19.
In section 2, Gary Thomas had an emphatic 24/9 victory, well ahead of Brendan Murray 20/14.
Anne Johns 19/15 came third, just in front of Gabe Kirby 16/13 and Sally Malcher 19/18.
A social group played and is keen to welcome new members. Turn up before 2pm.
Tennis continues this week at 6pm Wednesday evening and then on Saturday.
