Pakenham, Drouin and Beaconsfield Blue had strong wins in the Osborne Shield on Saturday to stay in the top-three positions on the Berwick District Tennis Association (BDTA) ladder.

The BDTA is only three weeks into its winter season so there’s ample time for Cranbourne, Officer Blue, Narre Warren North, Beaconsfield Gold and Sandhurst to make their mark on the competition.

It was a foggy start on Saturday, but the players pushed through to enjoy glorious conditions later in the morning.

Here are this week’s results:
