Kyvalley Red dominated proceedings, extending its unbeaten run to eight with a 7-1 victory over Kyvalley White.

There were plenty of strong performances in the win, but none stood out more than Tilly Forde’s 6-0 singles win.

Forde paired with Paige Berner for the next best result of the tie, prevailing 6-1 in their doubles fixture.

In the other match, KLTC picked up the win over Girgarre 6-2.

Section 3

KLTC Black survived a tough contest from club mates in KLTC Blue to stay two games clear on top of the section.

Black got the win 3-2, the pairing of Lachlan Young and Tahlia Moss earning the best doubles result of the match 6-2, while Young matched the feat in his singles rubber.

The combined Kyvalley/KLTC squad also won 3-2 over Stanhope.

Olivia Halstead and Ava Morris proved a strong duo, winning their set 6-1.
