The ladder-leading Red side went in favourite after an unbeaten season so far, and lived up to that billing in a 7-69 to 3-47 win.
Black threatened the upset early, winning the first of the men’s and women’s doubles.
Riley Wakenshaw and Brook Scott teamed up for an 8-6 men’s win, and the pairing of Fiona Owen and Rebecca Gell prevailed 8-5 in the women’s.
John Forde kickstarted Red’s afternoon with a perfect 6-0 result in his singles rubber, but Black led three sets to one when Owen teamed with Renae Fleming for another women’s doubles win.
Red finally took control from there though, reeling off the last six sets to surge to a comfortable win.
John and Tilly Forde had the most dominant result in the remaining rubbers, winning 8-2, and Xan Booth earned his side’s second singles victory 8-2.
Undera vs Girgarre
Undera finally broke through for its first win of the season, defeating Girgarre 6-63 to 4-55.
Grant and Anthony Slee started things well for Undera, taking the first men’s doubles 8-5, but Dana Boyle and Rima Owen-Horn would steady the ship for Girgarre with a dominant 8-2 performance in the first women’s doubles.
Undera reeled off four straight sets to get back on top and although Girgarre would win three of the last four, it was a day of celebration at the bottom of the table as Undera wouldn’t be denied its maiden victory.
