Tennis Eastern development officer Sean Davies had every right to be buzzing last night.
His region's senior team captured the Tennis Waikato Bays Rose Bowl Quadrangular trophy after two convincing 8-1 wins at the weekend - against defending champions Bay of Plenty and Waikato Thames Valley at the Greendale club.
Both matches were played on Saturday and yesterday's rain forced the fixture against Western Bay of Plenty to be abandoned.
"We had two emphatic wins which surprised us. Our women were particularly impressive," Davies said.
Eastern's No 1 woman of the host club, Jane Wyllie, and No 2 Fiona Tyler, of Central Hawke's Bay, were both unbeaten. Eastern's only women's loss came in the No 2 doubles against Bay of Plenty when Greendale's Victoria Kerrison and Hawke's Bay Lawn's Barbara Baker were beaten 6-0, 6-2 by Aliya Edwards and Leona Davis-Kaye.
