Antwerp to play Rainbow in semifinal
With the 2023-2024 Dimboola District Tennis Association season coming to an end, we saw some competitive, pre final play on the weekend. We thank all teams for helping out when teams fall short to ensure the season can continue to run.
Unfortunately, the match scheduled between Arkona and Jeparit on Friday night was
forfeited as Arkona was unable to field a side.

Dimboola ladies wanted it more winning 4 sets, 40 games to Hopetoun ladies 2 sets,
31 games. The overall score was close with Dimboola winning 4 match points, 10
sets, 130 games to Hopetoun 1 match point, 8 sets, 117 games.
Next, Antwerp was to host Brim. Antwerp played consistently well throughout the day bringing home many great wins. Their mixed won 5 sets, 48 games to Brim 1 set, 21 games.
The men followed on the winning streak, with quite the front from Brim,
defeating Brim at 3 sets, 41 games to Brim 3 sets, 38 games. The ladies carried it
home with their final win for the day, 6 sets, 54 games to Brim 0 sets, 20 games. The

The last match for the weekend saw Warrack host Rainbow. The mixed showed competitive play throughout with the away team bringing home the win, 4 sets, 44 games to Warrack 1 set, 24 games. This continued as the men were neck and tie, with Rainbow dominating the ball, winning 3 sets, 35 games to Warrack 2 sets, 28
games.
On the other hand, the Rainbow women came in firing and defeated their opponents, 5 sets, 45 games to Warrack 0 sets, 14 games. Some great tennis played. The overall score was Rainbow 5 match points, 12 sets, 124 games to Warrack 0 match points, 3 sets, 66 games.
