There was some small movements on the ladder this week, with Myndarra moving to fourth at the expense of Orford and Koroit moved to second by percentage.

However, Warrnambool Warriors are yet to play the same number of matches.

Week five saw Warrnambool Vikings defeat Tarrone 7.25/4.15.

Tarrone gave away three rubbers before the match started, being a player down.

David Warhurst (Tarrone) won his three rubbers and survived a strong challenge from Dom Angarano, winning 11/7, 9/11, 9/11, 11/5 and 11/5.

David teamed with Tony Storer to win their doubles 6/11, 11/7, 2/11, 11/4 and 12/10.

All Warrnambool Vikings’ players won two rubbers.

Warrnambool Warriors defeated Orford 9.28/2.7.

Peter Owen (Warriors) won his three rubbers.

Best for Orford was Russel Hussey who won two long rubbers, defeating David Cranwell 14/14, 7/11, 11/5 and 11/1.

He also defeated Neil Ford 11/8, 13/11, 7/11 and 11/9.

Both David and Neil won two rubbers each.

Glengleeson lost to Koroit 1.7/10.30.

Glengleeson just couldn’t add to the scores when they lost the only two extended rubbers of the night in five games.

David Rowbottom (Koroit) defeated Lindsay Morton 11/13, 11/8, 6/11, 11/9 and 11/5.

Ray Young (Koroit) defeated Gareth Spring 8/11, 11/6, 9/11, 12/10 and 11/89.

Both Ray and Fergus Monsborough won their three rubbers for Koroit.

Attunga lost to Myndarra 5.19.341/6.21.353.

This was another cliffhanger for Attunga who seems to be making it a weekly occurrence.

Aaron Rowbottom (Myndarra) won his three rubbers, combining with Ally to win the first doubles against Val Wortley and Gus Looney, 11/7, 13/11, 11/9 and 11/8.

This was indicative of the night where five of the 11 rubbers were extended.

Ally also won a singles against Gus 6/11, 11/5, 6/11, 11/5 and 11/8.

Ian Wortley used his experience to defeat Ally 11/6, 11/5, 10/12, 9/11 and 12/10.

Both Ian and Kelly Wortley won two rubbers each for Attunga, while Gus won the fifth.

Winning both the doubles rubbers enabled Myndarra to take the four points.

Ladder: Warrnambool Vikings 20, Koroit 16, Warrnambool Warriors 16, Myndarra 12, Orford 8, Attunga 4, Tarrone 0 and Glengleeson 0.

Week six matches – Orford v Warrnambool Vikings, Warrnambool Warriors v Koroit, Tarrone v Attunga and Myndarra v Glengleeson.
