BALLS were flying across the valley on the 23 March with Healesville and Warburton juniors ably representing their clubs.
This is the first year the junior team at Warburton has competed, and the first junior team to represent Warburton in many years.
They played Miller Park, winning 6/44 to 2/18.
In the Healesville juniors, the girls singles/doubles section 9: Healesville’s Lucy Flamsteed, Teihana Callen, Caitlin Cosson, Kelly Wallace and Kate Methven lost their semi-final to Warrandyte.
The girls singles/doubles section 5: Healesville defeated Heatherdale in the semi-final and played the previously undefeated Montrose Green in the grand final. To their great credit, the Healesville team defeated Montrose Green, 3/27 to 3/25.
While the seniors’ open section 4 lost the semi-final to North Kew, and the open section 8 lost the semi-final to Koonung Park.
