AWE Huatoki and RE/MAX Pukekura
recorded whitewash victories over Hareb Deken Oakura and Central Finance
Rotokare respectively, whilst in a closer tie Inglewood Club Inglewood defeated
Farmlands Okaiawa/Manaia 10-6
Huatoki's comprehensive win over Oakura was achieved despite not having a full
strength line-up on the men's side. Alistair Nairn, Jayden Harrison and
Cory Sutherland only gave up a total of 5 games combined in the singles with
winning margins of 6-2 6-0, 6-0 6-1 and 6-1 6-1 over Simon Spurdle, Mark Bridges
and Chris Edler. Huatoki's line-up of women should have been challenged
but Oakura were missing their usually strong line-up. Sophie Robertson,
Ellen O'Byrne and Erin Annabell weren't really pressed to achieve victories.
Chris Wilson at No.3 for Huatoki was taken to three sets by Lauren Luttrell.
The doubles and combines were all one way traffic for Huatoki and they were able
to achieve maximum points to maintain their lead in Soffe Cup.
Pukekura held their second place spot on the Soffe Cup ladder with another
resounding 16-0 victory over Rotokare. A near full-strength team line-up
were far too good in the singles matches although Bridget Coleman for Rotokare
did take Rebecca Wormald to three sets. Shaun Alborough had an easy win
over Kyle Crowley 6-1 6-1 at No.1. Mat Garnham, making his Soffe Cup debut,
dispatched Shane Devlin 6-3 6-0, whilst the No.3 and No.4 men, David Barnard and
Thomson Matuku continued their good season form with wins over John Lehman and
Ben Fitzgibbon. Louise Waite was deadly in her 6-1 6-0 defeat of Jane
Symons. Kirsten Reid and Linda Reid were able to call on their experience
to propel themselves to wins over Juliet Farquar and Helena Goodin. Both
sides made innovative doubles pairings in an attempt to maximise the outcome for
their team but it proved to be more of the same for Pukekura.
Inglewood swapped places with Okaiawa/Manaia to move to third on the Soffe Cup
table when they were able to defeat the combined side 10-6. Inglewood led
6-2 after the singles showing strength in the women and bottom men's singles.
For Inglewood, the three Spurdle siblings all won, albeit in three sets.
Hamish Mead and Mark Laurence for Okaiawa/Manaia won all their matches to give
the home side five wins. Okaiawa/Manaia picked up a further combines win
but the remaining four doubles matches were enough to keep Inglewood ahead.
