The men played Round 8 of their Winter Tennis Competition on Tuesday night in much warmer conditions and the winning pair was the combination of Matthew Clarke and Leigh Taylor who won a total of 27 games. Matthew was a fill-in for Charles Harvey. Matthew and Leigh combined well together to level their first set 4 all, then went into top gear to win 6/2, 6/2, 6/2, 5/3. A good effort for the two players.
