The Wangaratta Lawn Tennis, Croquet and Pickleball Club\u2019s senior aggregate season is reaching its crescendo, with the penultimate block of matches fought out on Saturday.<\/p>\n
In the weekend\u2019s results, section one saw Ryan Patterson essentially claim the overall title, his 23-12 the latest in a season of incredible results.<\/p>\n
Phil Peck was next across the line with his 19-12, while Kevin Callahan broke even with 18-18.<\/p>\n
Mark Brown managed 16-21, and Riley Minns came in with 8-24.<\/p>\n
Andrew Lindner took the win in section two with 23-15, but he was pushed all the way by Mario Pane (22-15).<\/p>\n
Mandy Allen furthered her tally with 19-21, while Mason Scholes (16-21) and Matt Curran (14-22) rounded out the group.<\/p>\n
Section three saw Victor Lairson dominate with his 24-10, well ahead of second placegetter Brian Scobie (18-20).<\/p>\n
It was a tight tussle down the list, with Mike Lairson (16-19) coming in just ahead of Michael Falkenberg (16-20) and Thomas McDonald (16-21).<\/p>\n
Alan Busk saluted in section four with his 22-15 end score, comfortably ahead of Amy Lairson (20-17), Phil Dryden (19-18) and Carl Cutrona (13-24).<\/p>\n
Section five was won by Andrew Cope (24-11), while Mark Gorman (19-14) and Pat Flynn (16-16) trailed behind.<\/p>\n
Bringing up the rear was Greg Renner (12-21) and Russel O\u2019Brien (11-20).<\/p>\n
In section six, Des Steele was simply too good for the rest, coming in with a score of 23-14, three games clear of James Wilkinson (20-14).<\/p>\n
Peter Curran (17-18) and Max McAuliffe (15-19) enjoyed a great contest, while Sartaj Bal came in with 11-21.<\/p>\n
Finally in section seven, Cate Geard was hard to stop, recording a stunning result of 24-9.<\/p>\n
John Shanley was next best with 18-19, narrowly ahead of Tim Dickinson (17-19), Cam Vincent (15-19) and Sue Piper (14-22).<\/p>\n
With one round to go Ryan Patterson is looking at back-to-back men\u2019s title wins as he leads by a street.<\/p>\n
However, only a nose separates Ash Weston and Mark Gorman in second position.<\/p>\n
The remaining fourth and fifth place trophies will be a toss-up between Andrew Cope, Brian Scobie, Thomas McDonald, Alan Busk and Mark Brown.<\/p>\n
The ladies\u2019 race has Sue Piper in the lead, also going for back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n
However, Mandy Allen has been making a late charge and is not far behind. <\/p>\n
The player’s 18 best scores are counted towards the final aggregate tally which can lead to late changes on the leaderboard as players exceed the 18 count.<\/p>\n
With one round to go there will be keen interest in next Saturday’s results.<\/p>\n
The presentations will be held at the end of play, at about 5:30pm, together with the barbecue.<\/p>\n
The presentations also include the club championship winner and runner-up awards. <\/p>\n
All are welcome to the presentations to cheer on the winners.<\/p>\n
