Players competed in both doubles and singles events in four age groups; 10 and under, 12 and under, 14 and under and 15 and over.
Stawell tournament co-director Murray Hart said it was fantastic to see the number of entries on the day.
“The points system makes it an advantage for all juniors to play as many tournaments as they can. They might not be the best on the day but the points can build up over the four tournaments,” he said.
“(These tournaments) encourage juniors to play at different clubs and mix with different juniors. It’s a chance to advance their tennis a bit further than just their home clubs.”
Trophies were awarded on the day and points were calculated for the next tournament at Horsham Lawn Tennis Club on November 11.
