Vale earns tilt at final series

inGLeWOOD

KORONG Vale will make a rare finals appearance in Inglewood association tennis despite going down to Fentons Creek on Saturday.

The Vale will come up against top side Loddon Eagles in this weekend’s semi-finals at Wedderburn.

Eagles had the upper hand against a depleted Wedderburn Junction in the last home and away game of the season, taking out all men’s sets.

Although Junction finished the season outside the four, its players took honours in the mixed sets.

Fentons Creek had a strong win over Korong Vale and will be hoping to take that form into Saturday’s clash with Powlett. Wedderburn Junction 7-86 lost to Loddon Eagles 11-127

A SOLID victory by Derby over wooden spooner Woodvale this Saturday will lock in finals for the Bridgewater-based team. Derby went down by 10 games against Lockwood last Saturday that allowed its opponent to jump into third spot on the ladder.

However, unless there is an upset and Marong has a cleansweep against Woodstock, Derby will be safe in fourth spot at least.
