Saturday and Sunday April 9-10 saw the Ballarat Tennis Club take on its southern counter-part Hobart in an annual inter-club event. Both Clubs fielded strong teams and with handicap doubles matches scheduled throughout both days of the weekend the stage was set for some terrific matches.
Saturday’s matches saw Ballarat capitalize on its home court advantage and surged ahead 6 matches to 3 at the end of the days play. Both teams enjoyed a curry feast on Saturday night put on by the BTC social committee and by Sunday the Hobart team was primed and ready to go.
