Another successful season for the club has seen 5 of our teams coming away with the premiership, with 4 of our teams narrowly losing their grand finals. It was tricky weather day on Sunday, with the wind picking up during the matches. It was great for the club to host 6 of the finals, ensuring a great atmosphere during the matches.
Well done to all teams who took part in the season and we look forward to seeing you all take to the court over winter.

MCC Glen Iris Valley 3-29 def Vermont Sth 3-28.
This was simply one of the best triple matches I have ever witnessed. It came down to the lest set of the day with the scores being 5 all, whoever won the next game would take the title. Toby and Luke won an epic last game to take the match by 1 solitary game. The atmosphere around the court was electric. Well done to Toby, Luke, Steph and Sebastian on a wonderful season.
