The sixth round of the 2021-22 Mount Gambier and District Tennis Association season will see the bright lights of Olympic Park switched on once again.
Tomorrow night the Division 1 players will be in the spotlight soaking up the Friday fun.
Two cracking contests should live up to the spectacle, too with the most evenly-matched fixture in recent weeks.
Reidy Park hopes it can take the fight to Centrals/Uniting on the grand occasion.
Centrals/Uniting continued its glorious start to the summer with a fifth straight win this time against Glencoe last Saturday.
Andrew van den Hurk is hitting the ball brilliantly at the moment and went through the contest undefeated, but the maroon outfit did scrap hard elsewhere.
Glencoe only finished two sets down on the overall leaderboard with Jorja Mitchell, Laura Edwards and Alice Tentye making inroads.
This tight result will fuel Reidy Park with confidence it can match the ladder leader.
The raw team stacked with fearlessness is in strong from after knocking off West Gambier by the comfortable six-set margin.
Reidy Park showed strong character after losing the opening two singles battles to nine of the remaining 10 sets.
After going down in the previous battle to Centrals/Uniting, Zayne Young hopes his team can generate a similar amount of momentum to spark an upset and make its premiership intentions loud and clear.
Following a reasonably promising outing against the all-conquering Centrals/Uniting, Glencoe may believe now is finally time to notch its opening win of the season.
A draw with Reidy Park has been the only source of joy for the 2020-21 minor premiers, but an opportunity against a similarly struggling outfit presents itself tomorrow night.
But West can draw confidence from its important victory in the previous encounter and the form of Ethan Schultz, Brady Cook and Jo Sealey.
Division 2 remains on Saturday afternoon and is expected to be as competitive as ever.
After a big win over Mount Schank, ladder leader West Gambier Red expects a sterner test against Reidy Park.
Reidy Park is one of the sides in the thick of the battle for second and the West players are weary one slipup can place them in the same lion’s den.
Reidy Park arrived fresh and ready to fire after the bye.
The colour fight will be on between the Mount Gambier and West Gambier Blue sides with both squads searching for a third win of the season, while Glencoe should get the job done over Mount Gambier Green.
Division 1 friends Centrals and Uniting become foes on the court in Division 3 as they face for the early bragging rights in the fight for fourth on the ladder.
Mil Lel wants to prove a point to the undefeated Suttontown Dons, while the latter’s sister side Tigers should enjoy a much more comfortable afternoon against the winless Moorak.
