In the Highlands tennis league, Elgin lead the way in Mixed Division 1, and at this stage in the season, look set to retain the title. The team is undefeated after four matches and have opened up a four-point gap. The latest victory has effectively ended the challenge from the Aviemore team. Also in Division 1 Rothes succumbed to their Inverness visitors. A little but of luck could have earned the Speysiders a share of the points.

There was some doubt as to whether the team would retain the trophy as Nairn A were within touching distance. However, Monday evening’s win at Rothes combined with the Duff Avenue second string holding title challengers Nairn to a draw meant a successful season for the A team.
