Players were well rested after the five-week break, enjoying near-perfect conditions for the afternoon.

RSL defeated Christian's by 12 games, 82-70, with number one player Jackson Bohner leading strongly from the outset.

Bohner's big serve and powerful hitting style allowed him to remain undefeated all day, notching up two doubles wins and a seven-game victory over Josh Matthews in the singles' clash.

Bohner's team mate Kira Payne also impressed with her serve, hitting at least seven aces.

Payne is clearly growing in confidence, mixing light touches with great drive shots on Saturday.

The hard-hitting Hoffmann partnered with Peter Dunn and Morgan Gason to overcome their KFC opponents.

Youngster Riley Hamilton acquitted himself well in fourth spot, his natural stroke and near-perfect timing winning him many points.

Monique Hargreaves was also a stand out for the victors, chasing to keep balls in play in a lively fashion.

Claire Harricks was a top performer for the opposition, finding good timing for her solid drive shots and and winning two of her three sets.

Team mate Nancy Bowen was again consistent for KFC, combining with Harricks to defeat Hargreaves and Maryanne Harricks.

Stan Hamilton walked away with the important four points, leaving them sitting just two behind RSL after round 10 of the pennant competition.
