The ladder leaders proved too classy for Elmhurst in their round six clash, claiming a 101-10 to 52-0 victory. Elmhurst’s Olivia Lockhart and Simone Shaw fought valiantly in the ladies round although Claire Harricks, Genevieve Bush and co. were in fine form. Ararat’s men won all their matches for the day. 

Crowlands travelled to play Landsborough and cruised to a resounding 94-10 to 35-0 round six win. Crowlands’ ladies were the stand outs with Julia Boatman, Kate Vance, Jo Price and Nicole Murphy combining to score commanding victories. Aiden Lee was clearly Landsborough’s best player. The men’s number three returned to the court and had an immediate impact, partnering Karl Scott, Liam Scott and ladies debutante Di Hermansyah, to wins. Lee and Hermansyah claimed their mixed doubles match in a thrilling tiebreak (7-5). 

Landsborough West suffered a similar fate to its Landsborough rivals, with Buangor scoring a crushing 102-10 to 44-0 victory. 

West’s top ladies, Trudi Hodder and Jo Blake offered some resistance in the ladies round but it was all one way traffic, with Buangor’s Hartwich combination (Ben and Chris) leading the charge.
