After a hard-fought tennis season across Northern Rivers courts, the NET League has locked in its four finalists following an action-packed weekend of semi-finals.
In division A, top-ranked Bangalow proved too strong for Wollongbar/Lismore, while Byron Bay produced a clinical performance to defeat Suffolk Park, only dropping a handful of games across the six sets.
Both ties were very convincing wins, setting the stage for a mouthwatering Bangalow vs Byron Bay final this Saturday.
In Division B, Suffolk Park advanced after Mullumbimby were knocked out on a technicality, while Byron Bay once again showed their incredible depth and composure to overcome a spirited Brunswick Heads side.
The finals will be hosted by Byron Bay Tennis Club this Saturday, June 21 at 2pm.
Everyone from the league, and the broader community is warmly invited to attend what promises to be a celebration of local tennis. There’ll be a barbecue, drinks, and a post-match awards ceremony to honour the winners, standout players, and contributors from across the season.
We’d like to extend our deepest thanks to all the clubs, players, families, and supporters who helped bring this inaugural NET League season to life.
With plans to expand next season, including new junior and social divisions, we’re excited to build on the momentum and keep growing community-based tennis across the region.
See you courtside!
