The first two days were dedicated to the sectional rounds of the men’s singles, with the women’s pairs getting started on Monday.

Five Moama players, Cameron Keenan, Kevin Anderson, Matt Robertson, Peter Campbell and Stuart Whyte, set off in the group stage of the men’s singles.

Keenan, Anderson and Robertson all progressed to the knockout rounds, and will resume their fights for the title on Saturday.

In the women’s pairs, Moama’s Cassandra Millerick is partnered with Kylie Lavis, the two splitting their first two sectional matches, with one to play.

Olivia Cartwright, teaming with WA’s Laura Butler, has won all three of her section matches and will feature in the knockouts.

The young gun pairing of Gracie Retallick and Mackenzie Parsons went 1-2 in their section.

Sectional play in the remaining singles, pairs and fours divisions will continue until Friday, with knockout rounds then running up until finals days on Thursday, June 19 and Friday, June 20.

The junior and all-abilities divisions will start alongside the senior knockouts and conclude concurrently with the other competitions.
