Round 9 results for Lilydale Tennis Club in the Eastern Region Tennis Competition. This week marked the return of competition, after a three week break due to the school holidays. Unfortunately, weather was at play this weekend with three out of four teams unable to get out on the courts due to their courts being washed out. All the kids will be extra keen to get out and play the next round matches next weekend.
