Round 4 of Badge produced mixed results for our teams with several big wins and a few close losses.

All teams have realised already the closeness of the matches this season and tiebreakers as usual are crucial in deciding matches.

Manly Blue  Lost 7-1 away to the top team Cooper Park 1.  Suellen/Sally won 1 set Liz/Pam 0 sets

It was not a good Saturday for our top 6 Mens Teams with all losses but our Mens 7 and 8 Teams had strong wins.Our Ladies 2 Team also had a good win and our Ladies 3 Team were leading 4-2 in the final set with time up and a win there would have given them the match. They had to settle for a draw.

Next Saturday our Mens 8 Team and Ladies 3 Team play at home at noon.

Our Mens 2 and 4 Teams and Ladies 2 Team are all playing late matches at home. All three teams are in the top 4 so are hoping for home wins to continue their good form.
