The inaugural Southern Tennis League champions have been crowned, with teams representing The Domain Tennis Centre and Lindisfarne Tennis Club claiming the spoils on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Lindisfarne Tennis Club played host on finals day, with a strong crowd turning up to cheer on the four Southern clubs competing across two divisions.<\/p>\n

In the Division 2 decider, the Domain Penguins<\/strong> were too strong for the Geilston Bay Aces<\/strong>, hitting away to a 5-5-36 to 1-1-17 victory, with captain Fairlie Lamond and her team all smiles post-final.<\/p>\n

The Lindisfarne Sharks<\/strong> (picture above) hosted the Sunshine Sizzlers<\/strong> in a battle of the Eastern Shore for the Division 3 title, with the Sharks rallying late to record a 4-4-32 to 2-2-29 win on their home courts, completing an undefeated season in the process.<\/p>\n

Team Tennis and Tournaments Coordinator Matthew Scott sung the praises of the seven clubs who entered teams across the six weeks of competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe STL has been well-supported by clubs in its first season, with over 80 players competing across the two divisions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe competition is all about being part of a team and supporting one another, and we\u2019ve seen some great rivalries and club identities develop so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’d like to say a big thankyou to the Lindisfarne Tennis Club for hosting the finals day and to everyone who showed up and contributed to a great atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n
